Flora camouflage

The pattern did not have an official name, so popular nicknames like "vertikalka" (vertical), berezka (birch), VSR-93 and so on appeared.

[4] Flora is optimised for an environment typical of central Russia and is effective at silhouette dissolution.

[5] Because of the characteristic stripes, "Flora" was nicknamed "Arbuznyj" (watermelony; арбузный) camouflage.

It is also known by the erroneous designation VSR-98, which stands for Vooruzhennyye sily Rossii or Russian Armed Forces 1998.

[citation needed] The overall color scheme can vary widely depending on the fabric used by the manufacturer.
