Product Description

The Gunner Sight of the T-72 Tank was limited to day only operations and lacked an integrated Fire control System (FCS). To enable Night operation and enhancing firing accuracy, Thermal Imaging Fire Control System was inducted as a replacement of existing obsolete night gunners’ sight. This upgrade significantly improves the combat effectiveness of the Tank T-72 by enabling all weather, day and night firing capabilities with enhanced precision.
