I mostly meant that it's just that bad
The camo itself works well enough from my experience. I hid behind behind a rock, and another time lay down between some bushes in an otherwise fairly open view and no-one saw me for shit. But then the same is pretty much true with the Flora pattern too; main thing is just to keep still.
But the actual camo pattern, is simply spoilt by the poor material used. Give it a few good washes, and it will fade considerably. If you ever spill diesel fuel on your uniform like I did, and then have to give it a thorough, hard scrub over the space of the next two hours - well then you can forget about your little brown and black squares and what not - it will fade into a roughly homogenous green paste and then you can kiss your 'advanced' digital patterns goodbye. Conversely, if you don't wash it at all, the uniform, pretty damn quickly, becomes blackened, oily, and even slightly reflective. A reflective uniform - yeah great.
Anyway though - to be honest the camo characteristics of an army uniform barely even matter; at least in the Russian army. What matters is everything else - the vast majority of your time is not spent running around a field or hiding in the bushes, it's shoveling snow, performing some manual labour somewhere, sowing shut all the tears at the seems caused by shoddy quality, or doing physical exercise while having to worry about a new hole ripping open, etc...
