That reads like a clickbait article on a red carpet snubbing and I hate it.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:I could get into the nitty gritty of why this is a big deal, but having NVG’s and laser guided MANPAD’s should have been the give away. You can’t shoot an ATGM at night at a helo without NVG’s. Same for any of the laser beam riders of the MANPAD’s world. Unless the video is edited, that round is too slow to be any MANPADS. Fighters have been caught with NVGs for years. ATGMs are a lot less common in Afghanistan than the Syria conflict, but this isn’t looking from this twitter video like a MANPADS with night sight engagement.

Various militant groups happily post pictures every time they capture some thermal or night vision optics, it appears to be the most valued gear of all. I've seen hundreds of these pictures on accounts like https://twitter.com/CalibreObscura over the years. It's a pretty safe bet that the black market for these is robust by now, I'm sure they get sold and resold all over the world. Seeing how crazy effective ATGMs are nowadays it wouldn't surprise me if that's the next hot item.
