As far as Canadian kit, yes those are getting phased out and the entire forces are moving to a single standardized night vision unit from ITT in the US. They by far make the best tubes out there. I'm not sure of the model we're getting, but even their low end stuff kicks some serious ass...

We're getting 5000 PVS-14s, with the breakdown being 3500 for land forces, 500 for non-land forces and 1000 yet to be funded. Its nice to see our troops getting proper kit. :nod:
