1P87 – Russian EoTech

the blue tint really killed it for me. i dont know if i want something that blue.

Looks like a crosspver between an Eotech and a Mars sight

Did they add a 6b3/5 armor plate in the bag?

huh the escape from tarkov one is different, the reticule and the glass are different, wonder if there are different variants or manufacturers in russia

You guys should review the vomz pilad 1×30 or the 1×42

1) – metal plates to protect the sight in the Packed state. This is additional armor on the battlefield. 2) – in Russia there is no great experience in creating such sights, we are only experimenting.

Pretty sure the metal plates are for protection

An optic that gives you night vision during the day.

All 1P87 i've seen were all clear and not bluish. You must be got a civilian variant.

I've seen a few versions of this optic floating around, and it seems like some of them have much less tinted glass. Maybe you have an older model? Other russian optics like the OKP-7 recently transitioned from blue glass to almost completely clear lenses.

Unless you got it free on your scav run, no.

Plates are to protect the bag.

The metal plates were Level 0.1 body armor.

Bag too light. Add metal plates to bag.

I have a made in Russia Pilad sight and its bomb proof. Honestly, I've used it on my 12Ga with slugs for 2 gun (no pistols in UK) and it lives on my .22lr now which isn't abusive to it, but it's still well zeroed and built like a tank for 80 USD.

The best AK mount is SAG armament mounts 😉

Russian tech is crap as always

Those metal plates might be to protect the sight from shrapnel.

Is it possible the optic is a collimater sight? If so its designed for night operations to be used with a night vision monocular which would explain the blue tint to cancel out the green of the helmet mounted nvg.
See the valday/valdai mn 320 for an example or valdai pk122.

🇷🇺👍🏻💯🇺🇸👍🏻

Weird, other 1P87s I have seen do not have that blue film at all and others have a lighter blue film. I've seen another two different reticule types as well. Anyone have any idea on why that might be ?

the metal plates are there so you don't lose the sight due to impact with a hard object or fragmentation from explosions or blasts

This optic weighs what it does for a simple reason: it's a genuine military-approved sight. The designation of 1P87 is given to this sight but GRAU organization, which translates as Main Missile and Artillery Directorate. They are responsible for all technical specifications and tests an item of equipment must pass to be accepted/approved for military use. That means this sight has passed Russian military testing for reliability, ruggedness, ease of use, etc. Which is why it's as heavy (if 300 grams can be considered heavy) as it is.

Inside the Russian market, it costs like a third of an EXPS. You can get one as cheap as 15k(~220$) rubles, and the average price is about 20k(~290-300$). Army gets it even cheaper. About 5-7k per sight depending on transportation.

That AK is beautiful

Thank you for interesting review! The only point of those metal plates is for that pocket/holster in case of transporting and it wont be damaged from side pressure or just to have straight form for holster (just speculation not anything else) that specific scope looks like to be made for snow(i may be wrong) seems to be civilian version .

Russians have poor trigger discipline

A lot of russian manufacturers tried to copy american and european stuff due to a strong belief that all american/european is automatically very good and all russian is automatically very bad. They even registered their companies in different countries. This often resulted in creation of cheap relatively bad quality copies that could barely serve their purpose, but sometimes were sold with higher price and even exported.
I'm not saying that everything russian nowadays is always bad, but you never know if it's gong to be a good purchase unless you try the thing you're buying.

BF3…. )))

Didn't know GSC is making scopes now, no wonder stalker 2 is taking so long

I use translate.yandex.ru to translate information from the Russian site (ak-info.ru) 1P87.
"Currently, according to the manufacturer (JSC "Plant JUPITER") comes into force, but in fact it is supplied only for military tests with new assault rifles on the topic of OCD "Warrior", where there are VERY LARGE CRITICISM of the military for his work. The price for 2016 is 29,000 rubles ($450)."
PS. It would be interesting to see a review of the sights SHVABE, for example PKU 2-PRO 215$ 150 grams (https://shvabe.com/products/pritsely-kollimatornyye-prizmaticheskiye/pku2-pro/)

Why did he remove the protective plates from the bag? If there are no extreme operating conditions, leave them at home.

That weight to battery life is disgusting.

Woah, the dude in the picture had a genuine AK107

i love the russian take on the SUIT sight, not super precise but i really like the top down point just cos it doesn't obscure you're target when the weapon recoils

The medal plates in the bag are probably there to protect the 1П87, and are meant to be on each side of the bag.
A random guess, i don't really know.

Why compare it to an eotech, you said yourself it reminded you of a early vortex (cheap) holo sight? Would a better comparison be towards a holosun or sightmark, only 8x more expensive?

So a shitty EoTech for more money, mo' heavy, stupid cheap looking tint, and it'll die on me? Who the fuck buys these?

Next up on in range, Ian reviews an Egyptian optic;
The hyroglyphic sight

Holy parallax 😂😂

more likely you can find a Chinese copy for a lot less

In Russia virtually all the mail is being handled by the Russian Post, semi-governmental organization with no respect or care to the packages they deliver. So, packaging has to have some tough material to protect the packages when being thrown around, stacked under something heavy or if accidentally stomped upon.
