Yuri Lyamin's blog post about recent photos from Syria,


 


   Iranian RU60G \ RU90G \ RU120G thermal imagers, captured by Nusra front during their recent counter-attack in nrthen part of Syria. Those sights are produced by Iranian private company Rayan Roshd, specializing in the production of electro-optical systems and devices. Probably they use Chinese matrices.

   These scopes recently entered service in units of Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and this summer they have been seen in Iraq, where they, along with other Iranian arms and ammunition were supplied to Shiite militias, and then some of them even got on the black market in Baghdad.


 


Iranian 12.7 mm AM50 sniper rifle, these sights are often used along with it.

It is also worth noting that the SD's can is very primitive. If you take an SD and add an updated suppressor with a similar volume they are still going to be quieter than those little B&T units (not to mention, with the SD model all of your ammo is rendered subsonic by the barrel porting).

 

HK Upfitters have taken note and roll their own SD cans these days.
