So, these are similar to manual gain setups? These are superior?
Why the term “korean”?Korean-spec, so 100k gain instead of 60-70k. I think the range on my UF sheets is 40-80k and actual is around 67k. Otherwise real nice 2376+ tubes from what I'm seeing (for an extra $1200/tube as compared to their spec'able UF WP). I hope it might push more development of quality manual-gain housings, as those'll be pretty damned bright on auto.
Why the term “korean”?
Is it meant for that marked, and if so, what about export restrictions?
No matter what, it’s awesome news that the engineers have found a way to tweak and further improve the capabilities.
Photonis will have a time trying to push their “OOB” sales pitch, although they still have the upper hand with high light resolution, I guess…
Resisting the urge to make a joke about eyes and brighter tube requirements
With a non manual gain housing you get what you get. Which IMO might be too bright, probably just depends on your environment.
As the post above mentions you can get Matbock Tarsier's to turn down the brightness as you would in a manual gain goggle, with the added benefit of greater DOF.
ITAR doesn’t apply if through DOD I don’t believe.So much for ITAR and only selling FOM restricted tubes to allies, although gain isn’t part of FOM calculus.
There must be something else about gain in ITAR.
Gotta watch out over stimulating your eyes.Resisting the urge to make a joke about eyes and brighter tube requirements
I guess not. I know for a fact that the standard PVS-14 in the danish military is FOM restricted (1600). But also that our special forces gear are not restricted. Either that, or they traded with someone in the ‘stan…ITAR doesn’t apply if through DOD I don’t believe.
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) ensures commercial exports of defense articles and defense services advance U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.
ITAR dam sure doesn't apply to Buck Fiden.ITAR doesn’t apply if through DOD I don’t believe.
In all seriousness, not much reporting out there on these.These have been out for a while, now. Any further feedback?
Were their units FOM limited, so they were pushing 100k gain on sub 30snr?In all seriousness, not much reporting out there on these.
FYI it has been reported by others that the South Korean Government had ordered these units back around 2017 ish and found them not to their liking. Apparently under heavy canopy the scintillation was too much. Since running them they have switched back to regular units.
Take from that what you want.
But an absolute shit ton goes missing when shipped to Ukraine??ITAR is not a ban. It's just regulatory control with oversight to assure critical defense-applicable items are not mailed out willy-nilly to people we don't like.
Mission statements for the orgs that authorize exports tell the tale:
So, we (the USG) like the ROK, and trust them, and their Army, to use things properly and not sell them on the black market, etc. Selling tens of thousands of NODs to re-equip their regular army, improving the ability of a close partner to defend their nation alongside US forces, with no notable risk of loss of equipment or information. Oh yeah, that gets approved.
Do you know this, or are you just guessing..?But an absolute shit ton goes missing when shipped to Ukraine??
Awesome - You cherry picked a quote from 9/22 to interject some noxious political shit.But an absolute shit ton goes missing when shipped to Ukraine??
It also isn't exactly difficult to get uf wp tubes there.Do you know this, or are you just guessing..?
Getting a hold on Gen3 stuff isn’t exactly easy, nor cheap, here in the EU…
Getting one or two, maybe not.It also isn't exactly difficult to get uf wp tubes there.
