Wz. 89 Puma

The '''Wz. 89 Puma''' was the successor of the Wz. 68 Moro pattern in the Polish Armed Forces. Puma was first produced in 1989, and was replaced in 1993 by Wz. 93 Pantera.

History
Camouflage wz. 89 Puma was introduced as the successor of Wz. 68 Moro. Unlike its predecessor, Puma was intended to have better camouflage parameters in Polish scenery. It was not very effective, with only two colors; at long range, soldiers wearing Puma stood out against a Polish forest background. Puma was soon replaced, after only 4 years, by the Pantera pattern.

Pursuant to the agreement signed between the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Poland and the Minister of Defense of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on the free transfer of military property, on October 30, 2008, in Ghazni, the National Army of Afghanistan handed over min. 3,000 field jackets in camouflage wz. 89 Puma with a lining.
