T-80U, this photo was taken a few months ago,during the big Russian mobilization.

Many so called experts were surprised, as they had all stated it was no longer in service with the Russian Army

1/72 and 1/35 kits are available of the T-80U.

The T-90 Russian MBT, The lens on the Shorta box should be purple black NOT RED.

When it's switched off, yes. When the Shtora is on it is very definitely orange red with a dark centre (which is what I think modellers are depicting):

In fact I suspect the lens itself may be clear and the elements behind it give it the darker colour, it's hard to tell:

Yes I have seen this video and only proves that RED can be seen for miles, this was a propaganda Video. If you look at the first tank with the lights on, there is nothing but a bulb in the shorta housing.

And I say For modelers making their kits it's up to them. Lets agree to disagree :bye:

From what research I've done over past couple of days it may be the case that they are electro-optic "dazzlers" that only shine red when a IR guided at round is heading for them, to jam it and break it's lock. So yes they wouldn't be on all the time but would just flash briefly as required. Still trying to research this further. The puzzling thing is IR should be invisible to eyes, however some IR bulbs do glow red. Hmmm...????

Just to throw in some further confusion, some cameras can 'see' IR light that is invisible to the human eye. Most modern digital cameras have IR filters to prevent this, but there are a number of ways of sidestepping this (or just use a camera that will see IR, they are available).
