MM-14, also sometimes referred to as "Poroh-1" (Ukrainian: "Порог-1," lit. 'Threshold-1'), is a camouflage pattern that has been in use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2014.
History
MM-14 was first seen in use by Ukrainian special forces and air assault units in 2014, but has since been adopted widely throughout the Ukrainian military.
Early batches of MM-14 uniforms produced by European military equipment manufacturer NFM Group were found to be highly flammable. Along with this problem, the pattern also had a tendency to fade when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. This led to the Ukrainian military choosing Kiev-based tactical clothing company PROF1 Group to manufacture the redesigned uniforms, with a different material used in production.
On July 15, 2015, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense officially approved MM-14 camouflage for standard issue to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

MM-14 camouflage consists of a five-tone digital pattern of light beige, light green, swamp green, gray green, and dark gray. This particular color scheme and pattern was designed specifically to work well in the Donetsk and Kherson regions of Ukraine. Some more recent versions of MM-14 incorporate greenish swatches to better accommodate woodland environments.
