Russia’s dedication to developing state-of-the-art military optics continues with
the introduction of the PKU-2M collimator sight. Designed and produced by the renowned
Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant (NPZ), this innovative sight promises improved
accuracy and performance for riflemen.

The PKU-2M collimator sight is engineered to provide precision daylight and night
vision optics. It is specifically designed for monitoring the terrain and conducting
aimed fire using weapons equipped with an upper Picatinny/Weaver rail. What sets
the PKU-2M apart is its exceptionally low parallax value for red dot sights. This
feature ensures that the aiming point stays on target, even with shifts in the shooter’s
perspective.

The modernized PKU-2M collimator sight boasts an array of improved features. Notably,
it offers six gradations of brightness, allowing shooters to adapt to varying environmental
conditions and select the most comfortable modes for executing tasks. This flexibility
is invaluable in situations where quick adjustments are necessary.

One of the standout elements of the PKU-2M is the Point K high-contrast technology.
This innovative beam-splitter coating ensures a high brightness level for the aiming
mark while maintaining the natural color rendition of the background. This results
in superior contrast between the aiming mark and the background, enhancing target
acquisition and aiming accuracy.

The PKU-2M’s robust build further adds to its appeal. It is constructed with durability
in mind, featuring shock resistance and exceptional dust- and moisture-proof properties.
This ensures that the sight can perform reliably in challenging field conditions,
making it an ideal choice for military applications.

An important advancement in the PKU-2M collimator sight is its significantly extended
operating time. It can function for up to 10,000 hours without requiring a power
source replacement. This extended battery life is a boon for riflemen who may be
engaged in lengthy operations without access to replacements.

The PKU-2M collimator sight is set to play a crucial role as it is proposed for 
deployment with flight crews. These crews will be equipped with either the 5.56-
mm shortened Kalashnikov AK-19 assault rifle or the [9-mm Kalashnikov PPK-20 submachine](https://www.military.africa/2021/08/army-2021-kalashnikov-unveils-ppk-20-submachine-gun-for-pilots/)
gun, both featuring the new collimator sight. This self-defense kit will be unveiled
at the Dubai Airshow 2023 as part of the Russian exposition, highlighting the sight’s
strategic importance in modern military applications.

The PKU-2M collimator sight represents a significant advancement in military optics,
offering improved accuracy, extended operating time, and exceptional versatility.
With the PKU-2M in use, Russia continues to push the boundaries of what is achievable
in the field of military optics.
