A Type 16 MCV from the 22nd Rapid Deployment Brigade during a night-time firing, which is not often seen even by the SDF members. This MCV is observed through a thermal imager camera during firing and resting. When viewed from the rear, it is overall very dark.

Also Chi-Ri 2s lil secondary gun does not have acces to better APHE like it is with Ka-Mi which has same gun but as main armament.
What the bloody hell is that ? Chi-Ri with literal 2 horse power?? XDD
Ka-Chi really should have been added as normal tech tree vehicle after ka-mi. There is still gap in the tree and theres not even any way for new players to get Ka-Chi right now.
This is viewed through an image intensifier (aka night vision) and NOT a thermal imager.
Thailand apparently had a semi-movable ADATS. Imagine a towed ADATS, should be fun lmao
Then why do the tire wheels appear bright white? There is no light source emitting from them. It seems plausible that this footage was captured through a thermal sight. In such a case, the wheels could be emitting a bright signature due to friction-generated heat, rather than reflecting external light.
White dust or snow reflecting the light. Same for the inside of the fenders.
It doesn’t look like there is any white dust or snow on the ground. I doubt it’s active illumination due to the lack of any change in visuals behind the vehicle. I also don’t think it’s image intensification, simply because it doesn’t resemble any white phosphor nods I’ve seen.
Here is the entire original video:

And a cool video showing thermals during an exercise:
(Do note these are at day so the vehicles are heated up due to the sun)
Not really, but ok.
Active illumination image intensifiers which can be found on many rugged military issue phones will have a monochrome appearance.
its a thermal imager, dude what makes you think that it isnt a thermal imager?
There is some things that makes it obvious that it is s thermal imager, first of all the image amplifier would refract other areas of the vehicle and Even all the snow would have the same level of refraction but if You notice it dosent wich gives away the usage of thermal imager
This is a screencap just as the gun fires, that’s light, not heat. That would not happen to a thermal imager.
The darker areas will absorb the light, not reflect it.
I also totally missed the fact that you can still make out the camo pattern, which would not be possible if it were a thermal imager.
Would love to know where do you see the camo patern?
