What I like about it as far as digital patterns go is that it has a lot of 45 degree angles, versus everything being right angles oriented to the vertical and horizontal planes. They have different variations of it, in woodland, cold weather, snow, and desert.Thanks. It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when I wouldn't need to have asked. I used to keep up with this sorta stuff.
Quote:They have maintained extremely tight controls on the fabric as to not make it available to foreign nations, since Russia has always copied the Finnish camo patterns with the intention of their Spetsnaz troops infiltrating while wearing them to confuse Finnish Defense Forces. I have confirmed this with former Spetsnaz soldiers, "Да, конечно, Pol."Hey, Pol. You ponimaieti porusski?
(Yeah, I know, that's atrocious. Best I can do after so many years away from my college Russian class. :o )I hate to go off-topic, but I hope that maybe you can translate a couple of words in the TV mini-series, Grozovye Vorota.
As best I can put them into English, they sound like "nit" and "piyachelay" -- and are used numerous times throughout the series.
For instance, in the segment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQbNo8xmzIo "nit" is heard at 1:59, 2:44, 5:59, 6:15, 6:17, 6:21, and although it sounds rather like Russian for "no", it seems to be used as an acknowledgement similar to American English "okay" or "roger".
When "piyachelay" is used at 3:34, 7:18, 7:44, it appears to be analogous to "Let's go!" or "Move out!"
Can you please provide a correct translation?
