Armenian forces participating in the Eagle Partner Military Drill 2024 are equipped with cutting-edge thermal imaging technology from Tonbo Imaging, a leading Indian defense contractor. The drill, focused on enhancing regional cooperation and military preparedness, sees Armenian soldiers wielding the Tonbo Spartan-S, a next-generation Clip-On Thermal Weapon Sight (CLIPON).
The Spartan-S is designed to be both feature-rich and easy to use. Weighing in at under 300 grams, it offers a comfortable all-in-one handheld unit. This multi-mission uncooled thermal imaging sight seamlessly integrates with small and medium caliber weapons as a true Clip-On sight. Additionally, it can function as a standalone sight, handheld viewer, or even a helmet-mounted system, providing versatility for various tactical scenarios.
Tonbo boasts that the Spartan-S delivers the sharpest thermal images on the market. This is achieved through a cutting-edge 12um TUVE thermal imaging core, further enhanced by advanced video processing algorithms.
The Spartan-S prioritizes mission readiness. The Clip-On mode eliminates the need for re-zeroing when transitioning from day optics to thermal sight, ensuring rapid deployment. A flip-to-side quick detach mount facilitates smooth transitions while preserving zero settings.
For intuitive operation, the Spartan-S features an advanced ergonomic design. Tactile buttons and clear feedback allow for easy manipulation even while wearing gloves, ensuring silent and efficient operation in the field.
