The sights have a bracket for mounting on the side bar of sniper rifles, including the Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD) and the silent 9 mm VSS sniper rifle.

The devices are already actively used by military personnel in the course of combat training, as well as training and exercises at various levels and are necessary for monitoring the battlefield, detecting, recognizing targets and conducting targeted shooting from sniper rifles at any time of the day, with the possibility of using them in conditions of poor visibility.

Thermal imaging sights can be operated at temperatures from +50 to -40 deg. C and air humidity up to 100%. They are ergonomic and relatively compact elements of sniper equipment.

An important feature of modern thermal imaging sights is the ability to take photos and then view the photos on the screen of the sight or transfer photos from the memory of the sight to a computer connected via a USB port.
