Hi,

 

Without going through all the ITAR Regs. I could not give you the exact details but for an individual the chances of personally exporting Gen. 3 NV from the US is precisely zero. There is even a prohibition on US citizens allowing a non-citizen to look through their NV scope!

Good, anything we can do to protect our men on the ground is good- good night vision is an advantage we should keep IMO. I know the UK has be known poor morals when it comes to selling arms abroad, yet look at the petty legislation we have to deal with a regoinal level
