 * Another pattern from this period, worn by Armenian forces operating in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in 1994, is an interesting design derivative of the 3-TsV but having more spot-like shapes. This specific colorway appears only to have been produced as a lightweight combat uniform, but other color variants are known to exist using precisely the same set of drawings. Some samples were made in the Ukraine. This design has also been documented in use by [[Moldova|Moldovan]] forces.

-* Armenia discarded its old Soviet-style camouflage patterns in the late 1990s, choosing instead to adopt a locally-made variation of the US [[woodland]] design. Having black, reddish brown & grass green woodland shapes on a greenish-yellow background, the pattern is quite distinct from its American forerunner.

A gray variation has also been documented, worn by units of the special police. These patterns have now been updated with a pixelated variation.

-* The traditional Soviet KLMK sun-ray or ''solnechnye zaychiki'' pattern uniform has been in service with Armenian forces since it was a Soviet republic. During the earliest period of the country's independence, airborne and special forces units retained use of the pattern, although it has gradually been phased out except by the Border Guards. Likewise, the ''berezkha'' (birch) pattern of the old Soviet Border Guards was heavily used by Armenian units during the First Karabakh War.

-* Armenian forces in the early 1990s have been documented as wearing a dark-colored brown variant of the Soviet-designed 1988 TTsKO tricolor woodland or 3-TsV pattern. This Armenian variant (also worn by [[Azerbaijan]]) features very dark brown & medium brown shapes on a light brown background, although it is very possible other variants were in circulation as well.
