What does Mirage - AEK-973 camo look like?

The AEK-973 Mirage artwork depicts a pink circular sun or moon above layered blue, pink and pale clouds. It differs from the PPSh-41 finish that shares the name.

How do you make progress toward Mirage - AEK-973?

Check the optic magnification against the stated minimum; an optic below it does not satisfy the setup condition.

Since Season 2, you can equip an already-unlocked Special camo on another weapon after earning any five Military camos on that weapon, including a combination across modes. That equip rule does not remove the nine-Military prerequisite for earning this Special camo.
