Are these SDR?

Is it true that army has placed an order of 12k ACOGs/equivalent ?

Don’t know what that thing is, but did anyone notice there are IR strobes on their helmets If I’m not wrong?

Told ya'll already, they're getting laser cut molle playe carriers as a standard kit

You're referring to the slight notch over the helmets right?
I'm slightly skeptical about it
It could be something like the Hawkeye firefly helmet mounted camera which is very small and used for Airsoft
Or I could be wrong

 

[Tactical Doge]

Brother ye tum NSG valo se pucho I am not expert in these tactical thing

Actually he's got a point
He's taking point and covering the left flank
I have seen enough videos to say that the last operator comes and taps on his shoulder then he will be taking point in a different position or proceed to move while covering the 6' o clock

It's just a fastening strap for that add-on NV mount.

Slightly clearer screenshot, surely looks like dual tube not like PVS-7.

What do you guys think?

@Gessler

I'm tired of looking at grainy footage and hoping we have something that no other piece of evidence can say that we do...been doing that for years so far and I've given up. From now on, I'm gonna wait for the information to come to ME!

I've adopted a simple rule:

If something is adopted in sufficient quantity to make a difference in the field, it will be seen widely enough that we don't have to speculate anything. On the other hand if something is adopted in small quantity for testing or otherwise, then its really pointless to draw any conclusions from it because if not adopted as standard equipment, it won't make any difference for the operators in the field, and is therefore of no real consequence in the big picture.

Follow this rule and it will save everyone a lot of heartburn & dry bloodshot eyes at 3 AM trying to identify some obscure piece of gear on dark corners of the internet (and on my hard drive).

can two monocle NOD's not be combined in one mount to make it a dual tube?

I believe the Israeli N/SEAS has that capability.

It's done all the time. Can be done with 2 x off the shelf PVS-14s (or equivalent types, provided interface kit exists for them on the market).

It's dual tube nvg because I have never seen NSG uses montube nvg like pcs 7 they always used single tube nvg

 

[armyofhind]

So then the capability exists. There's quite a few single tubes to go around if they need to be converted to dual tubes for atleast some guys in a HIT or squad.. if nit all of them.

Then the reason it's not being done, could be possibly something other than lack of equipment.

Dual PVS 14 kit

If you're talking about the NVG in the video - its too low res to say anything conclusively. That said, if you ask me what I think it is given what I've seen with the NSG so far, then I'll say its just a PVS-14 (the monocular one they always use) with the tube swiveled off to the side. This gives the impression that there are 2 tubes because the mount may be mistaken for another tube from certain angles.

As of "monotube" that you're talking about - there's no such thing. For future reference:

Monocular: Single objective lens, single ocular lens, 1 x I2 tube (example: PVS-14, Mini-N/SEAS)
Bi-ocular: Single objective lens, dual ocular lenses, 1 x I2 tube (example: BEL PNVG, PVS-7)
Binocular: Dual objective lenses, dual ocular lenses, 2 x I2 tubes (example: PVS-14, PVS-31, Tonbo BNVD)
Panoramic: Quad objective lenses, dual ocular lenses (actually, 4 lenses 'fused' into 2 eyepieces), 4 x I2 tubes (example: GPNVG-18, ANVIS-10, Tonbo BNVD-P)

Cannot pin it on a singular reason.

There's so much not being done that can easily be attributed to "we're not doing it cuz we don't want to". That's what they said when we wondered NSG wasn't getting high-cut helmets. That's what they're saying when we wonder why nobody hear adopts COMTACs. Why nobody makes the call to replace 9mm SMGs with 10" 5.56 carbines.

The option to buy them was always there. The kit was always available on the market. The funds required were never out of reach.

And yet, here we are.

If BEL can make Monocular PNVS, what is stopping them from making a Binocular? Is it a TOT from another firm or their own/drdo creation?
