Night Vision Ukraine and NATO Impacts on NVG and Image Intensifier Tube Availability

[ljstack]

With the conflict in the Ukraine, the observations on Russian tactics, and the realization from NATO that you really do fight with what you have when the balloon goes up; many nations, including the USA are reevaluating their stance on night vision. Its not enough that elite tactical units have NVG's - everyone needs NVGs.

As all manufacturers move forward under this paradigm shift in combat operations, you can expect military demand to consume almost all tube availability for the next 2 years. Russians tubes and Chinese tubes may become scarce as sanctions take effect and/or are strengthened.

Why are you trying to drive up prices?

Is an invasion of the US mainland imminent?

Or maybe it’s that the DOD realized leaving 15k units for the taliban was a bad idea.

But let’s not use scare tactics to make sales.

If you are going to come on here and market your stuff, you need a commercial account. And don't try to start a panic to make yourself rich.

That's one way to look at information, however you can get your NVGs and tubes from L3 or Elbit and their resellers and distributors. That should mitigate the "make yourself rich" concern. We're letting you know that the reality of the situation at play will affect all manufacturers. No one can determine how this will play out, so keep your radar up and lets see how this disaster in Ukraine impacts everyone. Right now we're sending what we can over there to support their needs.

L3Harris won’t be exporting their tubes anytime soon. I doubt we’ll see any fallout from actual tube shortages caused by a spike in European demand, but more likely due to inflation and supply chain issues, which may drive up prices and strain availability, no one I know of at L3 is sounding any alarm bells yet.

I pulled up TikTok and saw a dude execute a Russian Solider taking a smoke with what looked like an Eastern Bloc highpoint. The necessity for NVGs in what essentially is going to be a guerilla resistance is a lot smaller than the need for UW knowledge, good dudes, and communication systems.

These are my Russian NODs. State of the art, baybee!

 

[ljstack]

Love them!!

You dang sure wont have to worry about the men in suits coming around looking for those.

But they do look tough as hell. Kinda Russian T34 tank style.

That’s exactly what they are. Russian tanker NODs.

 

[WhereNow&How]

Well those T34's were somewhat rough built, but they sure got the job done. Maybe those NODS too.

 

[TheHebrewHammer]

Not sure what language that is, but it isn't Russian.

Polish, I think. Looks it anyway

very virtue signaling of you...

 

[TheHebrewHammer]

This sounds like a sales pitch I heard at a gun show

By the looks of our southern border, I would say it has been going on for a LONG TIME.
