This one looks like a clone of the MultiCam that had been designed in 2002.
Our soldiers should get something more modern.

I've also seen a few other patterns - and compared to them, WS31 isn't that bad.

To be honest, MoD should steal the camo of Border Guard It would be possible to use GI or British pouches etc, especially in the first phase of introduction of the new camo, if "beton" would allow such a bold and brave activity

I don't know if "beton" will allow for such far-reaching daring actions.

Translation - "beton" = concrete. Slang term for superiors welded to the regulations.

My mistake, I thought of the WS31 and "borrowed items" of course
Yeah, that would be too much for Janusze...

The recent confusion over the purchase of footwear for soldiers shows that there's still a problem with prioritizing individual equipment, to put it mildly. As for camouflage patterns, if we're going to let our imaginations run wild, it's hard to find a better one than Pencott Greenzone. If we want a "universal" camouflage for European conditions, let's create a variant similar to the current Latvian camouflage with a more pronounced macro pattern. But I'm afraid that's just a pipe dream, and we'll have to accept whatever the General Staff and the Armaments Agency give us.

Edit:
And finally, a conclusion: a uniform camouflage pattern for the army and the border guard makes sense.
However, for various non-substantive reasons, I don't think the army will adopt the current Border Guard pattern.

And there is no denying that there are more urgent needs than replacing uniforms - vests, helmets, small arms and artillery ammunition, communications... The list is very long.

The Special Forces Component Command has approved a new camouflage pattern for special forces soldiers: SILVA25 (code WZÓR 08/WS). The 3rd Logistics Base in Krakow announced a tender in May 2026 for the first batch—3,020 sets of summer training suits in the new pattern. The specification (WTU 118/DKWS) was approved on February 25, 2026.

After years of using interim solutions ("Suez"—a Polish copy of Multicam—and the original Multicam Crye Precision), the Polish Special Forces are receiving their own dedicated camouflage pattern. The name comes from the Latin word silva, meaning forest or wood.

Today, at Huta Stalowa Wola, the signing of a contract for the fully Polish-built:
- 146 BORSUK infantry fighting vehicles,
- 4 REGINA divisional fire modules (including 96 KRAB self-propelled howitzers),
- over 1,000 support vehicles for HOMAR-K launchers,
- 8 RAK mortar fire modules,
- deliveries of support vehicles for 6 divisional fire modules equipped with K9PL howitzers.

This means, among other things, that within two years, implementation contracts were concluded for over 250 Borsuk IFVs, as well as
the purchase of support and support vehicles, which were sorely lacking.

The Łucznik Arms Factory in Radom is launching serial production of the latest MSBS Grot A3 rifle. The head of the Armaments Agency has approved the technical documentation, and the weapon will enter service with the Polish Army.

The signing of a contract for three A26 Blekinge-class submarines and one "bridge" submarine—an A17-class vessel intended for use prior to the delivery of the A26s—under the "Orka" program is scheduled for today (June 29).

The choice of the A26 Blekinge has sparked some controversy, stemming from a "minor detail" that had been overlooked in media coverage but is now being discussed increasingly openly:
the offered A26 was nearly half the price per unit compared to competitors (such as the German option), while the delivery timeline was superior to that of Western European rivals. Furthermore, the Swedes offered excellent financing terms and were the only ones to propose genuine industrial offsets for the purchase.

From the perspective of decision-makers, the choice is hardly surprising; rather, it is a well-calculated move: significantly lower cost, benefits for Polish industry, and excellent financing. Poland is set to gain tangible combat capabilities in the Baltic Sea.

Edit:
The signing of the contract to acquire A26-class submarines from Sweden means that an older vessel of this class—the A17S-class Södermanland—will soon arrive at the Gdynia-Oksywie naval base to serve as a gap-filler.

"Regarding the new camouflage, I would like to inform you that work on a new camouflage pattern for the Polish Armed Forces is still ongoing, and at this stage, the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate cannot provide further information."
Lt. Col. Piotr Płuciennik, Press Officer, Communications Division, Armed Forces Support Inspectorate

The new camouflage pattern was scheduled to be unveiled this spring, but its reveal has been delayed. For now, only a few individual uniforms featuring a slightly modified cut (but still in the old wz. 93 "Pantera" pattern) have been seen; these are currently undergoing testing.
