In this episode we go deep into the green glow and trace the evolution of night vision from Nazi infrared rifles to modern fusion goggles that blend heat and starlight into one image.
We break down the real missions where this technology changed the game, from the catastrophic crash at Desert One to the silent reconnaissance flights over Vietnam and the soldiers of today wearing AI assisted panoramic goggles that can see through darkness, dust, and smoke.
It is the story of how humans learned to turn night into a weapon and why even now the dark still wins sometimes.
