YEREVAN. – Periscopes have been created in Armenia to protect soldiers from snipers, representative of CJSC Laser Technology Samvel Gyulbudaghyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The devices have already passed the necessary tests.

Given that Armenia is engaged in “a trench confrontation” you need to have a means of protection from enemy snipers.

“Now our border guards may have a direct view instead of hiding in a safer place,” the engineer said.

The device does not waste energy and is similar to other periscopes that are used, for instance, in the submarines.
