MT-GEKKO-PRO-40 and MT-GEKKO-PRO-50 monoculars, Ukrainian-made night vision devices, have been approved for operational use in Ukraine’s Defence Forces.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, according to Censor.NET.
As noted, these devices have already been combat-tested, feature-enhanced protection, and can withstand even extreme loads.
What are their features?
Thanks to close cooperation between the manufacturer and the military, the MT-GEKKO-PRO-40 and MT-GEKKO-PRO-50 are equipped with advanced optics. Depending on the configuration, they allow users to detect enemy personnel at distances of over 400 m and equipment at nearly 2,000 m.
These night vision devices also help troops navigate terrain, perform technical work on equipment, provide medical aid to wounded personnel, read maps, and operate vehicles in low-visibility conditions.
Operational use
User-friendly mounting options allow MT-GEKKO-PRO monoculars to be used as handheld devices or mounted on a helmet or weapon. In addition, these Ukrainian-made monoculars are, in most cases, cheaper than foreign counterparts.
