>Honestly, optics are even more important in the jungle than the open desert. The amount of available visual concealment means that the ability to spot the enemy first is even harder without thermals.
Yeah. Having a CITV with decent resolution seems especially important in a jungle combat context. You really want a second set of thermal that can pick out man sized signatures behind shrubs and shit. PNK-6 seems pretty good in that regard.
>Do the Cambodian tanks have anything in this regard, or are they running solely on optical sights?
The best the Cambodian seem to have are T54s. To their credit some of them seem to be end of Cold War era Czech models with reasonably decent fire control systems. But none of them have thermal optics (note the Soviet era IR illuminator).
