    Looks like it's for use by a Cyclops. Rounded forehead piece, yet eyepiece dead centre?!?

    I have always been afraid of those people in possession of what they believe to be the truth. They will do anything to see that the facts are changed and whipped into shape to agree with it.

    It looks like it's straight line, while AFV sights tend to be prismatic.

    What does the writing say?
    The yellow warning triangle looks like a radiation hazard warning, so I'd guess trilux illumination (once)
    The dovetail on the bottom makes it look like a sight for a ground weapon like a towed gun of some description, like a light gun or a WOMBAT, used for the direct fire role.
    I am a horrible civilian-type, but I work in the industry and hang around here to get some insight.

    It doesn't look British. What's the NSN?

    Is it Russian/WP?

    Any chance of seeing the reticule pattern inside the optic, if it has one? It looks perhaps like some sort of military survey or obs kit, rather than a sight

    Re: What did this fall off?

    i 'reckon its of Russian origin. i saw a scope in the 'jingly' market at Kandahar the other weekend, that was old and i can onnly describe as reminisent of something you'd look over the top of a 5 in deep trench with!
    the scope in the pic you've put up is similar in style/manufacture to the one i saw, albeit a different shape

    does it generate the required amount of power on its own to propel the vehicle at the required 88.8 mph then :D ?

    Far from certain but I've seen similar ones in the turret cupolas of knackered Iraqi BTRs.

    The country code looks like either 22 (Denmark) or 12 (Germany).
