Military Parade in Azerbaijan

Military parades often showcase distinctive and unusual uniforms. In this example from an Azerbaijani military parade, the soldiers wear standard camouflage uniforms.

However, what sets them apart is their makeup. With such face paint, they could easily be mistaken for participants in a costume party. Presumably, this look was created to help camouflage the soldiers in the field, although it could also be for a showy effect.
