-* Most recently, the MVD began issuing blue-dominant [[digital patterns|pixelated]] camouflage designs to many of its personnel, including some special police units. At least two variations have been documented, one having a much lighter overall hue, and one much darker. There may be additional variations amongst these, as often happens with repeated production runs by different factories. It is not apparent whether specific units are issued the lighter and darker versions.

 * Soviet-style camouflage remained in use with the Kyrgyz Armed Forces for a number of years, although colorations were atypical and may have been developed specifically for Soviet forces of the Turkestan Military District. The pattern most commonly associated with [[Uzbekistan]] was also apparently in use with Kyrgyz troops in the mid-1990s.

-* Like many former Soviet Republics, Kyrgyzstan is part of the Организация Договора о Коллективной Безопасности (CTSO or Collective Security Treaty Organization - a kind of modern-day Warsaw Pact), and as such contributes some military personnel to the Коллективные силы оперативного реагирования (KSOR, or Collective Rapid Reaction Force). This force uses its own distinctive [[digital patterns|pixelated desert]] camouflage design, which has been in use since around 2009.

-* In 2016, it was first observed that many units of the Kyrgyzstan Armed Forces were wearing a digital camouflage almost identical to that of [[Kazakhstan]] and probably based on the same drawings. The only differences noted are a slight variation to the intensity of the green coloration, but this may simply be a reflection of fabric production coming from a different factory or part of the world.
