The set of the tank gunner‘s sight TPN-1-AM is designed for the modernization of the main combat tanks T-55, T-64, and T-72.
Saving the dimensions of its predecessor, the upgraded sight has received a number of significant advantages, exceeding a lot of the capabilities of the old Soviet sight. Thus, due to the integration of the cooled detector, the range of target detection was increased to 13500 meters, against 800 meters in the old sight, and recognition – up to 4900 m, against 400 m.
Improved functional parameters of the upgraded sight extend the operational capabilities of the operator on the battlefield. The upgraded tank sight TPN-1-AM is available in 2 modifications: with the uncooled detector (AM1) and cooled detector (AM2).
