    Description
    The Andromeda 3 from Econ Industries is a combined day/night weapon aiming sight. The sight can be fitted with either second- or third-generation image intensfier tubes.
    The sight has the F1.2, 98mm catadioptric objective lens used in all of the Andromeda series of night vision devices. This provides a magnification up to ×4 and a field of view of 10.5º.The user can select day or night operation by turning the mode selector lever which brings into the optical axis either a third-generation tube for night operation or a fibre optic bundle for day operation.
    There is a single reticle for both day and night use which is projected via the objective lens and is illuminated by an AlInGaP LED. A filter for laser eye protection is provided.

    That is the Andromeda 3 which is not in service with the Hellenic Army. Only the Navy bought a small number

    LOL! The "old" guys are the Chief of Hellenic Armed Forces General Staff General Michail Kostarakos and the other guy probably a hi ranked officer of the AirForce

    Hellenic Air Force SAR helicopter AS332 Super Puma landing after completed training maneuvers around an airfield in Aegean Sea.
    The Super Puma helicopter is a common project shared between EUROCOPTER GROUP-AEROSPATIALE and DASA. It is a twin-engine, single rotor, multi-role helicopter considered ideal for combat missions, due to its great resilience, reliability and flexibility. Hellenic Super Pumas have a crucial social contribution as they are also used for search and rescue missions. It is yet another aircraft based in 112 Combat Wing, 384 Squadron "Puma", in the Air Force Base of Elefsis.
