"The Pentagon sent 210 night vision devices to the Afghan National Army 215th Corps in Helmand Province, for example, but only 161 of them were returned. While the 215th Corps attributed the discrepancy to "battle losses," according to the Times, it's also quite common for Afghan troops themselves to dump their own gear on the black market to make a quick buck." - Task and Purpose

Not just Pulsars, but also the OASYS universal thermal monoculars produced by BAE Systems, 1PN series from former Soviet stock, and ATN ThOR-HD night thermal scopes. - UN Security Council Report
