	* Several variations of a pixelated camouflage pattern (nicknamed "Dragon Flight") known as Tactical One by the manufacturer were given consideration for adoption by the Serbian MOD in 2007, but none were ever officially adopted. The pattern can now be found in commercial markets. The pattern illustrated below is a pixelization of the M-MDU-02 design.		* Several variations of a pixelated camouflage pattern (nicknamed "Dragon Flight") known as Tactical One by the manufacturer were given consideration for adoption by the Serbian MOD in 2007, but none were ever officially adopted.

-* Designed for use in the mountainous terrain of [[Montenegro]], the M-MDU-03 uniform featured a unique camouflage design featuring light green and dark green fleck-like leaves, with white, black, brown and dark grey geometrical shapes on light grey background. The pattern itself has been nicknamed ''Karst'' (limestone), which is one of the predominant features of the Montenegrin mountains. Neither the uniform nor the pattern itself was ever officially adopted, and most articles found in this pattern are of '''commercial manufacture'''.

-* First introduced for use by the 63rd Paratroopers Brigade, Counter-Terrorist Battalion of the 72nd Special Forces Brigade, and the "Cobras" Military Police Detachment in fall 2001, the M-MDU-02 ''(Maskirni Dezen Uniforme, Model 2002)'' is a "woodland" oak leaf pattern, retaining the old shapes of the M89 design but incorporating an updated color scheme that was believed to coincide with many patterns worn by NATO countries. The first color variation uniform was apparently popular with soldiers of the Serbian Armed Forces, but never officially adopted due to it being expensive to produce.

Inexplicably, a few personnel serving as part of the EU Naval Force Somalia (Operation ATLANTA) were observed wearing what appears to be this version of the design, intermixed with the general issue MDU-10 (see below).

-* A Serbian Army medical team deployed on a United Nations mission to Chad was issued with special uniforms made from [[Bulgaria|Bulgarian]] desert [[DPM]] camouflage fabric. It appears this was only a one-time use of the fabric, however.
+* Serbian Army personnel deployed to Chad in 2008 were initially issued with surplus Norwegian Army M/03 desert pattern camouflage uniforms, probably sourced directly from the Norwegians also serving there. This was part of the MINURCAT (United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad) and the Serbian contingent consisted primarily of Medical personnel, as well as some security elements.

-* The camouflage design here, heavily-influenced by but not directly copied from the [[USA|USMC MARPAT]] temperate pattern, has been documented in use by the PTJ of the ''Žandarmerija.'' However, so little photographic evidence exists that researchers are assuming the design was only tested and has not been fully adopted bu this unit, or any other Serbian paramilitary entity.

 JSO (''Jedinica za specijalne operacije'' or "Special Operations Unit") was an elite special unit of the Serbian Service of State Security. It was formed in 1996 when paramilitary units (like "Arkan's Tigers") was merged into a unit under the Serbian Security Service. It was disbanded in 2003 when the Serbian Prime Minister - Zoran Đinđić - was assassinated and some members of this unit was involved.
-* An urban camouflage pattern, based on the US [[woodland]] drawings has been worn by the JSO. Sources suggest the fabric was possibly made in Hungary.
