“Russian warships may soon be equipped with special light systems that can blind enemy optic sensors and personnel with an intensive multiband ray.
The device, officially called a “visual optical jammer station Grach,” was revealed this week at a military expo in Kubinka near Moscow. It’s a remotely-controlled device with two to four projectors that produce light intensive enough to suppress enemy sensors and cause temporal blindness in humans.
The projectors radiate light in the infrared and ultraviolet ranges of the spectrum, which means they affect devices such as thermal visors which rely on such wavelengths. Grach is intended to provide cover for troops during firefights and hinder enemy reconnaissance. It can also be used as a regular searchlight and to send light signals large distances.”
Russians still cant produce good cars, PCs or so…but their military equipment is superb.
The last year i got my hand on a night vision that was designed for their new Dragunov spiner rifle - for like 250$ it was even better than my H&K gen 3 monocle plus it was bullet/water/dust/radiation proof
Unfortunately i was foolish enough to sell it to a colleague hunter hoping to get another one…
Prior to the adoption of the 1995 Protocol IV to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, the United States was developing a number of laser systems intended to blind either personnel and/or optical systems
My wife says, when I remove my shirt at the beach I can blind ships at sea. Next time she brings it up, I’ll point out the strategic military uses for that.
