Thermal, IR or image intensifier?

(Clarifying the difference between Thermal, intensifier and IR)

If you want 'cheap', you may find a cheap thermal or IR surplus Russian / Warsaw Pact gear from the late 80's / 90's. I saw both in Pakistan and Malaysia some years ago, for much less than you're expecting, all under $1K.

Rumor had it that some may have made their way to the US.

CAVEAT! Some of these were known to have a high UV output, and may cause long term eye problems (aka blindness).

Be careful if you go too cheap...
