MM-14 was first seen in use by Ukrainian special forces and air assault units in 2014,[1] but has since been adopted widely throughout the Ukrainian military.[1]
Early batches of MM-14 uniforms produced by European military equipment manufacturer NFM Group were found to be highly flammable.[1] 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 Kyiv-based tactical clothing company PROF1 Group to manufacture the redesigned uniforms, with a different material used in production.[1] The camouflage was presented to the public in August 2014 at Odessa.[2] In December 2014, fabric and equipment samples in the pattern were presented to Ukrainian officials.[3]
On July 15, 2015, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense officially approved MM-14 camouflage for standard issue to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[1][4] It replaced all Dubok uniforms in use.[1]
In August 2025, it was announced that the MM-14 will be replaced by a Multicam-based camo uniform known as the MM-25.[5]

Design
MM-14 camouflage consists of a five-tone digital pattern of light beige, light green, swamp green, gray green, and dark gray.[1] This particular color scheme and pattern was designed specifically to work well in the Donetsk and Kherson regions of Ukraine.[6] Some more recent versions of MM-14 incorporate greenish swatches to better accommodate woodland environments.[1][6]
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine uses a version of the MM-14 with dark green camo patterns.[1]
