There are about 6,283 mils or milliradians in a circle.
1000x 2Pi.
However, Nato use 6400 'mils'.
Warsaw pact 6,000.
Sweden 6,300.
This is to allow easy division.
And the Swiss apparently use 6,400 but measured from north, true or magnetic I don't know.
So, are the reticles on binoculars true mils, 6,400 for Nato binoculars?
6,000 for Warsaw pact binoculars and 6,300 for Swedish binoculars?
How does this fit in with other equipment, say modern digital that may use true mils?
What happens if a country joins another organisation?
Questions, questions?
Regards,
B.
