Good point mallardpi
Can not the same have been said a few years ago when the Civ's had Flir and we didn't.
It took us over 20 years after they had it to add Flir to the Seaking. I bet it won't take em as long to get the go ahead for NVG's.
But then do they need em think I'm right in saying they have a s61n from Stornoway flogging around the mountains at night and managing very well without em.
Bit like what we did before we had nvg's
