  1. >SUSAT is called old(surprised that we're at this point) >All of the so called near pear opponents, who are not NATO members either have worse and less widespread scopes(China) or don't have scopes for the troops at all(Russia) So how exactly is it obsolete? If you have infinite budget you can likewise buy one of those Boston Dynamics robots and give it a rifle. Does it make humans obsolete? Nope, you're just showing off with your finances:D All those thermal digital scopes with automatic correction for weather, barrel bend, Earth rotation, tine dilation and so on are 1)very expensive, heavy, fragile and need someone smarter then normal grunt to operate; 2)provide miniscule increase in effectiveness of the soldier. Compared to just making sure that they're fed, warm and rested that's placebo effect. Because soldiers aren't tanks, IFVs or helicopters, their weapons don't benefit from all that extra accuracy. You can mount Hubble as a scope to your pistol, it'll still be just a pistol. Just with almost two dozen tons of extra dead weight...
