My first thought when I saw this - "oh hey look, razzle dazzle clothes" which is my personal mental association of the famous scene in Stripes movie, with Dazzle Camouflage which I always thought was a neat idea.

In late May 2026 images appeared on social media showing Russian Ural and KAMAZ trucks painted in the classic dazzle camouflage. Supposedly the unusual paint scheme is to confuse Ukrainian drones controlled by artificial intelligence and disrupt their pattern recognition, and not to trick the human eye. Ukraine has experimented with AI for targeting as seen in Operation Spiderweb, and is conducting a deep strike campaign to disrupt Russian logistics.[72][73]

I’d imagine it’s a bit of cat and mouse though, because if they train the drones to target that pattern they’d be sitting ducks

From my understanding (which could be incorrect, I mean I wasn't there), the pattern applied to the hull was done differently per ship. I imagine they applied the base pattern in a random tile-like build where things can be rotated and moved around in the design before painting.
