At least we can take heart that our EU chums will form a consortium with top heavy (and useless) management spread around at least 12 countries including the NVG specialists of Albania, Latvia and Malta. Our goggles will cost at least 20 times that of a US pair, they will be available sometime in 2020 and won't work below 200 millilux - as a result of this, a mandatory modification will be necessary, at vast cost, which will take the total weight of NVG and helmet to around the 15Kg mark.
