LANDI KOTAL, Feb 11: Nato authorities provided military gear, including night-vision goggles, to Pakistani forces at a tripartite meeting held in the Khyber tribal region on Wednesday.

Senior military officers of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nato met at a military base near Torkham and discussed a surge in militancy along the Pakistan-Afghan border and attacks on Nato supplies in tribal areas of Pakistan.

Officials said that Brigadier Amjad represented Pakistan at the meeting. The participants also visited the Michni Post and attended a briefing there.

The night-vision equipment would enable the security forces to watch the movement of suspected elements in a radius of nine to 10 kilometres.

Pakistan has been calling upon the United States to provide night-vision equipment for quite some time to enhance the capacity of its forces fighting the Taliban in the region.

We could have provide you that! Why NATO?!

 

[S-2]

Snooze, you lose.

Besides...our stuff actually works.

We've successfully battle-tested this gear along the Iraqi-Iran border intercepting those doofus fools sent over by their Pasdaran controllers at al-Quds.

Actually, we have night vision equipment too.

As Sir, Murad mentioned in one of the previous threads. And I quote:
Sir Murads post

In 1995 before my retirement I was a DG ( Defense Production Division )
Institute of Optronics was under my command .
night vision goggles were locally built variant of the standard US Army AN/PVS-5A night vision goggle system for general purpose work in the visible and infra-red spectral regions (up to 0.86 µm) including vehicle driving. The goggles incorporate two second-generation, 18 mm, micro-channel, wafer type, image intensifier tubes which allow the user to view at ranges from 250 mm up to infinity. A self-contained infra-red illuminator source is used for map- reading and equipment maintenance.nstitute of Optronics
Ministry of Defence, Chaklala-Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Institute of Optronics (IOP) has established state-of-the-art military specifications production and testing facilities of night vision devices, based on Image Intensifier Tubes. The Night Vision Systems, without turning the night into day, vastly improve the ability of the Armed Forces to undertake a number of vital functions related to force effectiveness. Command and control, surveillance, movements both tactical and logistical and accuracy of firepower are some of the areas of activities in which the Night Vision Devices are playing a formidable and vital role.

Institute of Optronics is playing a key role in this field and has established Military Specifications production and testing facilities of following night vision devices, based on second generation Image Intensifier Tubes:

# Individual Served Night Vision Weapon Sight (Equivalent to AN / PVS - 4A)
# Crew Served Night Vision Weapon Sight (Equivalent to AN / TVS - 5A)
# High Performance Night Vision Goggles (Equivalent to AN / PVS - 5C)
# High Performance Night Vision Binoculars (Equivalent to NVB - 4A and NVB - 5A)
# Driver’s Night Vision Periscope (DNVP - 1A)
# Aviator’s Night Vision Goggle

An indigenization programme to progressively develop and manufacture components in Pakistan for night vision systems is being vigorously pursued. The future plans of this institute include the establishment of facilities for night vision devices based on Thermal Imaging Techniques for all types of armoured vehicles and helicopters.

Oh really?! Our stuffs are battle tested too! We are exporting them! I have heard the same thing about our planes and missiles too! Don't forget you couldn't capture Afghanistan without IRGC help!

And as the matter of fact if those "doofus fools" were send by IRGC, There wouldn't be any U.S force "Alive" in Iraq.

Don't point your finger to the others when you fail! I know its an American habit, But you'll learn!

Ah intercepting those ******** coming over the border with their nice load of very 'peaceful' bombs and guns. Always was rewarding when we actually found the *******, if we were lucky they even shot at us.

Yes we have seen them work with hazbullah and hammas. All moveable with no specific target.

 

[Destructlord]

Shiny and S-2 what evidence can you provide about your accusations? Stop using your imaginations guys, not even a fly can pass our southern borders without IRGC permission. Why i dont see any Persian terrorists in Iraq or Afghanistan?! Where do you guys intercepting there so called terrorists? maybe in your imaginations?!

Do you know Iran could masscare U.S troops in Iraq if it want? But why? Why a soldier must die thousands of miles from his home? No we are not like your savage governments, Anyway it make U.S to stay in Iraq longer which is not in our national interest! some of your accusations are very ridiculous! have this for example: McCain: "Iran supporting Al-Qaeda and Taliban!" what is this guy talking about?! Can he even write and read?! Does he know whats Al-Qaeda and Taliban ideology?! "Kill 8 Shi'a and you'll get a free ticket to the paradise!"

Yes we have seen them work with hazbullah and hammas. All moveable with no specific target.

Hamas was under siege we couldnt send them any help! BTW provide me with evidence... not accusations! Why every time Israel fail everyone point their fingers against us?! And why everyone think we are supporting Hezballah?! Even if we do the whole world supporting the Israel, I dont forget that those ammunition were sent by U.S and delivered by British. (2006 Lebnan war). What are you trying to say?! Iran Vs. World or something like that?! (Not to mention several Arab regimes were supporting Israel to destroy the Hezballah!). I have western source on these. However, I dont think if you dont know them already!

These two and many others are not moveable:

​

In addition:

Read the Rober Baer ex-C.I.A operative about Iran.
Watch your "own" media, Discovery Channel "Iran, Most dangerous nation".

IRGC can pass your southern borders "without IRGC permission" all day long...if we didn't stop them.

Here are some thoughts on the matter by Adm. Mike Mullen, CJCS as reported by Sarah Baxter of the London Times last April-

US Warns Iran Of Retaliation Over Iraq Action-Times of London

"Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, blamed the Iranian government and Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard for its 'increasingly lethal and malign influence' in Iraq...

Mullen said he was increasingly concerned about Iran’s growing involvement in supplying munitions and training to rebel Shi’ite militias and 'killing American and coalition soldiers in Iraq'.

Speaking at a Pentagon news conference late on Friday, he said recent operations in the southern port city of Basra had revealed 'just how much and how far Iran is reaching into Iraq to foment instability'”.

I'll defer to the chairman on this matter. His thoughts speak for me. So do the words of Captain Capstar. He is a former British Guards officer of infantry with at least one tour of Basra. His units had a very personal connection to your al-Quds and affiliates operating in that area and can likely attest with a gunsight perspective of the matter.

Probably the best evidence possible, eh?

"Do you know Iran could masscare U.S troops in Iraq if it want?"

Heavens!... and it's AMERICANS who are always accused of arrogance?

Same old accusation! As i been predicted, It's ok! Anyway, I don't accept the claims of some junkie U.S commander or even a British one! Give me a solid evidence! I assume that you're not aware of this! And who is this so called "IRGC high value" target a guy with the beard dressed in black?! Come on man, Do you think IRGC is fool to send senior members anywhere?! Your media needs to not fool people anymore! There are some people with brains everywhere! If IRGC want to pass the border your patrol won't be alive to let or not to let them pass my friend, To remind you Persians were the first one to use the Partisan warfare against Roman empire! and they already proved their worths by training brave warriors in Lebnan against your armed to the teeths masters in the Israel! (Anyway it's your claim im just repeating it!).

"An unstable Iraq is not in our national interest!"

As far as i can remember it was the West and specially the U.S who were begging Iran to "cool down" the people, After everything is set, Now you're repeating your false claims!

Your savage army stormed our embassy and tortured our envoys in the name of IRGC! That shown the world some animal and uneducated neandertals are ruling the U.S, Your country has no respect for the world diplomatic rules.

Your authorities are some dumb hunchback who doesn't even know the difference between the Taliban and Hezballah! Your authorities keep repeating "Iran is helping Taliban and Al-Qaeda!" But they don't know Taliban and Al-Qaeda are sworn enemy of Iran! even worst than Israel!

"Anyway, I don't accept the claims of some junkie U.S commander or even a British one! Give me a solid evidence!"

I'm three times your age with a commission as an artillery officer for my nation and a two undergrad and one post-grad degree behind me.

You're eighteen, rude, and in no position to judge evidence or otherwise.

"Your savage army stormed our embassy and tortured our envoys in the name of IRGC! That shown the world some animal and uneducated neandertals are ruling the U.S, Your country has no respect for the world diplomatic rules."

Hmmm...o.k.

Go away. If you don't, I will. Either way, young man, we're done here.
