The Republic of Abkhazia is a partially-recognized state/disputed region in the South Caucasus, located on the Eastern Coast of the Black Sea in territory claimed by the [[Georgia|Republic of Georgia]]. Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, disputes between ethnic Abkhaz and Georgian groups over independence resulted in the 1992-93 War in Abkhazia, in which Georgian forces were defeated and ethnic Georgians were forced out of the region. A ceasefire was instituted in 1994, but military conflict was sparked again during the 2008 South Ossetia War. The region is now considered a "frozen conflict." Only Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Nauru recognize the independence of Abkhazia; Georgia considers it a part of its own territory, currently occupied by Russia.

== Camouflage of the Abkhazian Armed Forces ==

The Abkhazian Armed Forces (Абџьарирқәу Амҷқәа Аԥсны) were originally formed out of the ethnic Abkhaz National Guard. Although primarily a ground force, there are small maritime and air units, all of which are supplied by [[Russia]] and outfitted similarly to Russian forces. Initially outfitted with contemporary uniforms of the Russian Armed Forces, in recent years the AAA have adopted standardized camouflage of their own.

* Initially, the standard uniform of Abkhazian Ground Forces was the "Flora" or ''Arbuz'' (watermelon) pattern camouflage pattern worn by the Armed Forces of Russia.

* In time, by 2008-2009 Abkhaz forces would adopt the pixelated version of the above pattern, known as единая маскировочная расцветка (EMR), ''tsifra,'' ''tetra,'' or "digital flora."

		+	* Introduced around May 2021, the pixelated camouflage design seen here now appears to be in general service with all units of the Abkhazian Armed Forces. Having a color palette similar to that adopted previously by [[Croatia]], the design features a light olive green base color, populated with regions of foliage green and dotted with smaller sections of medium brown and black. Unlike many digital camouflage designs, this one has a distinctly sparse appearance, with the base color taking up at least 50% of the overall design.
