I did some quick checking a gen 3 and 4 stuff seems to have dried up, so there may be something going on there.

You can not get anything out of the US, nor can you send anything to the US for repair.

Depending on your needs a good gen 1 Scope, with an IR illumination works fine. I use a Pentagon flashlight light and USNV product IR filter. Thermal imaging scopes are an amusing price starting at 10K and going up.

Also saw this quote "By adding to cart, I understand, acknowledge, and agree to the Export Policy. I am a U.S. Person, and I do not intend to export this product."

Some Russian chick recently went to jail for exporting NV to Russia.

Smuggling may be the only option.
