Back to topic now, has anyone any info about local (e.g. Czechoslovakian, Polish, Yugoslavian pre-'90 thermal sights variants? I think all of the non-Russian 90s upgrade use import thermals, but that's it AFAIK.


Czechoslovakia had 2 TI sights in development in late '80.
The first one was determined for new SP-AAA STROP and the second one for new BPzV based on BVP-2 (the first BPzV Svatava which entered service in 1988 was based on BVP-1 and had GSR). Both project was not completed from obvious reasons (although later Slovakia developed their BRAMS which is in fact continuator of STROP).

However many recon vehicels used GSR like OT-65RL which were part of recon company in tank regiment.
