Shvabe night vision monoculars set off for Africa

The Schwabe holding, part of Rostec, has delivered a large batch of night vision monoculars to one of the African countries, the name of which is not disclosed. This was reported in the press release of Rostec, received by Military Review.

According to reports, the Shvabe holding company supplied the customer with a PN21K night vision monocular. The device is equipped with electron-optical converters of the second and third generation, as well as infrared illumination. The monocular is equipped with various lenses, has mounts for placement on the head. The device has a minimum size for its class, which compares favorably with common analogues. The device is suitable for any observations at night.

Optical devices manufactured by Schwabe enterprises have long established themselves all over the world. The PN21K monocular (...) received many positive expert evaluations. (...) is in great demand abroad and is one of the sales leaders in the segment of night vision devices. In 2020, another major contract for the supply of similar products will be implemented.

- said the Executive Director of Rostec Oleg Yevtushenko.

The PN21K monocular is manufactured by the Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant.

This means that soon the Algerian military will "light up" with these monoculars. ...

[donavi49]

Algerians are increasingly being purchased in China. Here at a fresh exercise highlighted the new PZL-45 in the restyling of new deliveries.

I don’t understand what is the joy? In the Forces, we have one for each battalion, God forbid. But we bullet everywhere. The border guards and those overnight crawl to the touch through one.

[donavi49]

Well, this is a question of trends. Algeria has not been making large batch purchases in Russia for 7 years. More and more often it wags no worse than the same India. At the same time, China is actively increasing its% participation both in the military technical cooperation and in the Algerian economy as a whole. On the MTC - shock UAVs (well, it’s understandable), MLRS SR-5 - here the Tornado flew, the PZL-45 self-propelled guns under several contracts (Msta flew by), S-28 watchdogs (OSK flew by), components for the fleet (again, instead of X- 35 probable, they bought C-802), a large contract for the modernization of shipyards in Mers-Kebir, the Chinese.

[Private-K]

Well, everything is logical and sensible (for Algerians): you don’t put all your eggs in one basket and it’s good to get a roof from another world-class player.
In the naval RF flies. But the Algerian Air Force land on Russian aircraft. Land - 80% also for the Russian Federation.

[bessmertniy]

Once taken in large, they will surely light up. However, in addition to Algeria, there are several more options - Egypt, the Central African Republic, Libya.

Good news.
So someone presses a piece of the market. And competition in the world market will force the company to work on improving products (products).

[V.I.P.]

It’s good if they sold for money, and not on credit, non-repayable. IR illumination is easy to detect. Sniper with special. equipment is a good target.

[Vyacheslav Viktorovich]

as well as infrared

It’s like walking on a dark forehead with a spotlight on a dark night. I thought they stopped doing that back in the 60s.

The night lamp still needs lighting. If he is not, then he will not work - for example, in an underground tunnel.
If you just use it at night, you can turn off the backlight.

[KAVBER]

This is always the way "Monocular PN21K is produced by the Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant", but the holding is called "Shvabe" why these braces to the pre-revolutionary history are not clear, I think it could have been called less pompously and more constructively, since all the factories of this industry that were not completed in the 90s were collected in one basket

[PalBor]

We now have this state policy of praising tsarist Russia. The caring tsar-father, the "crunch of the French roll", the ruined greatness of the empire ... The main propagandists: pseudo-monarchists and neovlasists from the Ministry of Culture and RVIO. They erect monuments to all sorts of generals-admirals-executioners, then they kiss the RTS members - the heirs of the fascists from the ROVS. Everyone imagines himself a master or, at least, a merchant of the first guild. Shvabe, Brokar, Einem ... And we are their slaves and servants. Therefore, they do not like the Union, the trend of discrediting is evident everywhere, in the media, in the cinema, in culture, in power. Alas.

I am not saying that we need to completely forget or brand our imperial past. I am against the exaltation of one period of history due to the humiliation of another, no less severe, but also glorious. And now we don’t take what movie, even about sports - continuous spit in the Soviet period. And who spits? Mikhalkov with Bondarchuk? Well, well, the victims of the Soviet regime.

You know, lovers of this "interesting" thing ...
F. Schwabe is a company, then a trading house, later a joint stock company of the Russian Empire.
The company was organized by Theodor (Fyodor Borisovich) Schwabe (Schwabe; 04.12.1813/18.12.1880/2, Zerbst - 121/XNUMX/XNUMX, Berlin), in the form of a small store, selling exclusively glasses, pince-nez and other small optical accessories received from abroad . Later, a workshop was opened for the repair and manufacture of optical and physical devices. In the early years, the shop and workshop were located in the Myasnitsky part, XNUMXnd quarter, in the Shilovsky house (No. XNUMX), then the institution moved to the apartment building of Prince M.N. Golitsyn on the corner of Bolshaya Lubyanka and the Kuznetsk bridge. The company’s workshop was located in the courtyard of the house.

[KAVBER]

We know that’s why I write about pre-release braces and pomposity, to name it simply weakly, Optics of Russia, Excellent optics of Russia and so on, and it’s simple and understandable, Sikorski does not use helicopters for us, although it’s the same from ours

[iouris]

Schwabe's business model is "a small shop selling small optical accessories obtained from abroad."

[Altona]

equipped with electron-optical converters of the second and third generation, as well as infrared illumination.
--------------------------------
Here on the site, like an extensive series of articles was on the subject of matrices for these devices, we kind of collaborated with the French Thale in due time. It would be necessary to give links to similar previous materials.

[Zeev Zeev]

A familiar topic. I went to military service with a similar Israeli-made device 17 years ago.

Rostec, put a large batch of night vision monoculars in one of the countries of Africa, the name of which is not disclosed.

[Dzungar]

Well, yes ... Monoculars are possible, Africa can be monoculars ......

[Fibrizio]

It was lit up and you went blind in both eyes. The second eye allows you to quickly navigate in space if you disconnect the monocular or have a problem with it.
Aiming at the sight of how? For example, through the greenhouse. And the mask will have more sizes. And it is needed only for moving.
Suppose you are sitting on a tower, waiting for an adversary (wild boar) and you look into thermal imaging binoculars. I saw the enemy, put down the binoculars, and everything around was black like a black man in a famous place. He reached for the trunk, and now the infection, hit the trunk on the window frame. The boar ran away because you were blind in the dark.

[bk316]

Immediately obvious - used by man
I am definitely for a monocular on the hunt.
When I tear myself away from binoculars, I generally lose orientation for a while ....

[Private-K]

Therefore, for scouts and sentinels in general, paired actions are envisaged: one goes looking into the thermal imager and if something is noticed they give the command center to a nearby comrade (with or without NV glasses, but with weapons with NVD).

[bk316]

Therefore, for scouts and sentinels in general, pair actions are provided:

The stump is clear. I would tell how in Kamchatka a bear is hunted in pairs, but it will be a flood.

I used panoramic night vision devices in SA at the very beginning of the 80s. True, then there was no backlight mode. Now this will not work. It is stupid to turn your panoramic head, of course, it is definitely more comfortable. But then I found a target, you need to press the machine gun with a night light to the eye, and then the device interferes. Ie, for those who should always be ready to throw up a machine gun and shoot aimingly, I would take such a "odnokulyar".

[missuris]

so panoramic four-eyes will be 6 times more expensive, 4 times more optics and reception + information on the whole picture. someone not rich bought.

Such devices are very necessary in Africa. It is very difficult to find a black Negro in a dark African night.

We in Guinea called them among ourselves "roofing materials". You can, of course, call them African-Africans, as tolerance requires. But even their race is officially called Negroid.

[Private-K]

And a certain country is called Niger! And if, according to the Russian language, Nigerians live there, then, in a foreign language, Nigeria.
Horror!

[Maksus]

Nigerians live in Nigeria, and in Niger (emphasis on I) Nigerians live.

[Fibrizio]

In such a device, a Negro in the bushes already beyond 30m will not be visible. Only if the eyes from the backlight will burn. But with her you will be overwhelmed right there.

It is written that, to whom it was unknown, who bought the tribe and the leader, too. And then 30 meters bow, spear, sling ... ineffective.

[Fibrizio]

Has anyone seen the Schwab booth at an exhibition in the arena in the fall of 19 in Moscow?
In short - a disgrace.
Optics costs horse money (if we are talking about traitors). They had an interesting novelty, there is such a foot, you translate it, and the multiplicity jumps from 2 to 6 times at once. Pts are cool and comfortable. The price tag is about 90k. Glasses are yellow and cloudy. Specially compared with Belarusian Yukon. The cost is multiple lower - the quality is multiple higher.
Nightlights.
Perhaps they are not bad. BUT! Their prices are uncompetitive.
There were even greenhouses (of course, in French matrices). In their own good.
But what distinguished the Schwabe stand in the digital part was its isolation from life in terms of prices. A sane person will never buy this for his money.
The same Pulsar or Dedal produces products in the ORDER better, and that the most interesting is cheaper (in the same segment).
Optics is a separate conversation. For 80k for sight you can buy Swarovski !!! or zeiss. A shvabe drive can be very STRONG, but with disgusting glass products (even with lippers, the glass is much cleaner).

When the World Cup was in Russia, I came across such binoculars "World Cup 2018 2,5 / 5x35 blue" google if interested. The price is over ten. If you say that he is blind, say nothing. I have nikon binoculars in the same size (costs 6,5k) the difference between them is the same as between binoculars and two toilet paper shanks. Unfortunately. And shanks also cost almost twice as much.
So for me it’s a mystery how they are still alive.
Only the state defense order is visible.

-------------------------------
I am pushing this, the director of our hunter is constantly looking for new sights, so I also had doubts that in the civilian market you can already find better and cheaper. Even there are widely unknown Chinese brands that with the very good quality and reasonable price make the same binoculars.

[Fibrizio]

Just very soon in terms of nightlights, they will remain out of work.
Now Yukon, Pulsar, and the Chinese ATN are producing digital level-2 night vision night vision tubes (yes, with reservations, of course, but the technology is taking leaps and bounds).
But what can I say for sure - taking a nightlight 1+ pok no longer makes sense. A number killed them. And Schwab indulges in the manufacture of these products.
The future is warm. This year, worthy peepers came out in China and Belarus up to 100k. Sights are still expensive, but still 3-5 years old, and I’m sure that for a hundred parts it will be possible to take a thermal sight without problems. And here Schwab completely sits in a puddle.

[missuris]

military-industrial complex focused on state orders, and it is still possible there are troubles with the FSB and customs in terms of export, i.e. maybe they even if they want they won’t sell it to private owners abroad or they will do permissions for a long time, so they don’t worry about the price. it's like a fian took for glass.
