Storming the Gap Thermal Imager Player Aid Card
By 1985, NATO had commenced the widespread deployment of thermal imaging equipment for fire control. These sights were remarkable, and a significant improvement on prior systems, but they still had their limitations, particularly in relation to some environmental and weather conditions, and concerns about friendly fire. The Soviets had also made advances in the field, but owing to cost constraints thermal imaging was restricted to command variants of the T-80.
