This is a list of all Chinese made thermals, not only are these subpar units but there are no Chinese thermal manufacturers that are not owned by the Chinese military our #1 enemy. The companies selling these are providing valuable feedback for design and improvements. The people buying them are finding our enemy who has no problem selling and supplying our enemies including Iran.

I thought ATN was connected to the Russians. I had read an article that traced the connections back to the Bellarusians. Same issue though (enemy of the US)

ATN huh ??
I have had,and used a ATN now for about 8 years. It has worked perfectly and I have killed many hogs using it on my 300BLK and now my 6.8SPCII.
BEEN A GREAT UNIT FOR ME.
Who were they owned by 8 years ago ?? --- pruhdlr

Guess I need to keep saving for a better thermal. I will say my ATN x-sight has been good for a few years. I have never had any issues and it spent most of its time on my 458 socom

My "problem" will be - - -> when it comes time for a new thermal,I DO NOT want one with all the extras.
Black hot,white hot,4X native,640,12 micron core.
Ease of set up ( no computer crap) ease of sight in. Ergonomically smart. Will easily pay the appropriate price for that.
Wifi,wind speed,record,thermometer,laser blaster,photon torpedoes, call home if you fall down,moon phase . . . PAY FOR ?? NOT ME !! ---- pruhdlr

What I worry about is, sure, you get a warranty with these high end units... but, what assurance do you have that they will be in business and whether they will honor that warranty? I'm just thankful that my situation does not require the need for one.

FULL Disclosure -> I WILL NEVER buy another ATN. Bad <--->Good --- don't know,but I want the features that I want. I will not pay for the extras that I will never use or the features that you have to be a pooter guru to enable. --- SAWMAN

So these CCP units are taking photos of the topography every time you turn them on and they are sending that info back to China so they can set up little ambush spots to take you out! Kidding but hey.....with those people who knows . haha
