The sole bidder was PREXER from Łódź, which priced its offer at 6,527,220 PLN. The contract was signed on September 26.
The previous contract on this matter was signed on February 17, 2020, with a value of 9 million PLN. It included the delivery of 30 sets in 2020-2021, with 17 delivered in 2020 and 13 in 2021.
Description
The CKE-1N collimator sight is designed for firing from ZU-23-2K guns against airborne targets moving at speeds of up to 500 m/s, performing maneuvers in course or speed, or moving in a steady straight-line motion.
The CKE-1N anti-aircraft sight features optics that include a night vision system. This design solution enables the simultaneous projection of a moving aiming mark and the target image from the night vision module. The night vision image is superimposed on the real view through the sight’s semi-transparent glass. Additionally, it is equipped with an emergency aiming system—a ring sight—which allows continued firing in case of a failure of the primary aiming system.
