    Katod tubes are the only Russian "Gen3"


    Generation really refers to the design of the tube not necessarily the performance, although each generation has different performance limits

    Gen 1 = shit, unusable without lots of ambient light or IR illumination
    Gen 2 = runs from pretty crap to pretty good (and hilarious $ for the pretty good, see DEP/Photonis XR5 prices)
    Gen 3 = pretty good to ~*amazing*~

    Poor gen 3 can be worse than the best gen 2
