Historical Information:

In the final years of World War II, the German army, especially the Wehrmacht, began intensive work on night vision systems using infrared spotlights — so-called Infrarot-Scheinwerfer. These devices, mainly mounted on Panther tanks and Sd.Kfz. 251 armored personnel carriers, enabled combat operations at night. The most well-known application was the installation of "FG 1250" systems on tank turrets and in infantry sets — "Vampir." Despite limited production capabilities, these systems were used in action from 1944 to 1945, mainly on the Eastern and Western fronts, and Germany was a pioneer in this technology.
