A bit more about Viper thermal/night sight by Within Syria blog.

 

Viper-72 thermal sight, a Syrian solution

 

 

 

....

   as SAA T-72 tanks start to take on the streets it become clear that protecting the IR lamps from the enemy fire is impossible just like the idea of fixing it again and again after two years into the fight most of the tanks in urban area have lost it's night capabilities with all or almost all of it's IR lamps broken some even the TPN-3-49 night sight it self.

 

   When the Syrian scientific research center was tasked with finding a solution for this problem in 2013 they were fast to come with an idea for the perfect replacement a thermal sight ,as thermal vision don't need illumination ,and they have already some experience working with thermal sights the Syrian scientific research center did before upgrade some of SAA's T-55MV with a Syrian thermal sight for direct engagement.

Any info on how that happened?

No info, this tank was near Aleppo citadel and severla videos posted in Syrian war shows it. I expect "IDF" level of driving skills were reason for this event.

Pardon me if I am rude, but what is so special about the laser rangefinder switch box? 

 

It's just a plastic (or maybe sheet metal) box with 5 holes drilled into it, with 3 switches with probably two NO blocks each and a light. 

 

It even lacks the cable connecting it, which makes be believe it either is broken (cable ripped out of the box), dismantled or using a a few terminals to easily replace it.

 

 

A visualization:

[LoooSeR]

it is sort of special because it is... Syrian-made complete-package laser rangefinder, AFAIK.

Those T-72s looks new. Freshly repaired or just got shipped from us.
