MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. The Shvabe Holding, part of Russia’s state corporation Rostec, has unveiled its latest optical and thermal-imaging sights for sport shooting and hunting at the ORELEXPO 2026 International Exhibition of Arms and Hunting Gear, Rostec reported.
The product range includes a model designed for ultra-long-range shooting, as well as devices for aiming in the dark, it said.
Shvabe Holding has developed new optical and thermal imaging sights for sport shooting and hunting. An optical sight with 40x magnification is designed for ultra-long-range use, while two thermal imaging models enable aiming in the dark and more precise distance estimation to a target. <…> These developments were unveiled at the ORELEXPO 2026 exhibition, the company said.
Rostec specified that the PO540 optical sight, featuring a magnification range of 5x to 40x, is designed for detecting targets at ultra-long ranges and is well-suited for competitive sniper shooting and mountain hunting. Its large objective lens and high light transmission ensure a clear image even under challenging lighting and background conditions; the optics are designed for large-caliber rifles.
The PT14 thermal imaging scope includes a "picture-in-picture" mode, which displays an enlarged fragment of the image around the central reticle, as well as an advanced ballistic calculator and built-in video recording. This device offers a longer operational life than other models in the series and features a rechargeable battery.
Rostec also highlighted another development: the Pilad Amulet model, which features an integrated laser rangefinder for precise distance measurement in open terrain, substantial internal memory, and can transmit recordings to external devices via Wi-Fi.
Lev Borisov, Shvabe’s Deputy CEO for civilian product sales promotion, noted that the holding continuously upgrades its products and strives to create devices that meet consumer demands. According to him, these sights have already earned the trust of hunting and competitive shooting enthusiasts, while innovative solutions for observation in challenging environments are widely used by professionals in the field. "We will continue to consistently improve the characteristics and consumer-facing features within this segment, and we plan to expand our product range for active leisure," Borisov said.
