What issues with Poliment ?
February 1, 2012. TV Zvezda. Russia, Moscow region. In the units of the airborne forces is ongoing testing of the infrared scopes Shakhin. At the present time - is the only model of the scopes (thermal) that has stood all tests of the army.
1. Shakhin is not an IR, but a thermal vision scope — these are actually quite different.
2. Laying up of Gremyaschiy (via Ilya Kramnik):

The problem is, we need agreed-on terms to understand each other. In the current language "IR Sight" and "Thermal Vision Sight" mean two DIFFERENT devices, using different physical principles. IR sights (which were first used back in WWII, actually) typically use light amplifiers with a near IR spectral maxima, and thus require external illumination, while thermal vision sights use different type of sensors able to see an intrinsic IR radiation of an object. They are MUCH more sensitive and thus appeared only some 20 years ago. Thus it is more correct to differentiate between the two.
Before I heard that there are some issues with the creation of the Poliment radar due to the merge of Almaz and Antey. The Altair department which was in charge of designing the new radar for the ship-Poliment lost many experienced personnel. As a result it lead to difficulty and delays in creating the Poliment radar for the 22350.

Is this for real, or a CGI? I just can't tell.
