Estonian Defence Forces to Receive New Modern Night Vision Devices
Estonian Centre for Defence Investments (ECDI) has delivered the first batch of modern night vision devices to the Estonian Defence Forces, significantly enhancing their capability to operate in the dark.
The newly improved features of these devices from Theon Sensors, a Greek company, bolster soldiers’ combat effectiveness in three critical areas: they are lighter, more light-sensitive, and offer superior resolution compared to previous models, thus affording users a tactical edge.
“To put it succinctly, the Theon Argus FS MK2 marks a significant progression in conducting operations under limited lighting. Its reduced weight and improved night vision capabilities are qualities our national defenders will certainly welcome,” remarked Staff Sergeant Mario Nõlvak, an armaments specialist from the Estonian Defence Forces Support Command’s Supply Battalion, who evaluated the new equipment.
Ramil Lipp, Strategic Category Manager (Armaments) at ECDI, stated that thanks to a successful public procurement process, the night combat capabilities of the Estonian Defence Forces are set to strong improvement. The devices will equip approximately 10,000 soldiers.
