In a pickle of pixels?

Last month, the US Army said it was planning to ditch the pixelated “digital camouflage” uniform.

This came after reports that the uniform does not give its troops good cover in war zones.

Some here too, then wondered about the effectiveness of the uniform, which is similar to the one used by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).

The SAF said the pixelated design of its uniforms is effective in making its troops harder to spot.

Now, a US-based camouflage expert has spoken up for the design, saying that it is as effective, if not more, than other patterns.
