-* In December 2025, the Ministry of Defense announced it would be retiring the vz 2007 ''Kocky'' pattern camouflage and introduce a new design for issue to the Armed Forces. The new camouflage design, officially ''vzor 2025'' (vz 25), was developed at the Armed Forces Academy of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik, located in Liptovský Mikuláš. The pattern re-introduces the use of organic, disruptive shapes, although essentially retains the color palette previously used in the vz 07 ''Les'' pattern. Although there is a rudimentary similarity to [[Multicam]] the shapes do not appear to be copied directly from the widely adopted design.
