Can anyone tell me from experience if the gen 3 civilian stuff is as good as the military issue pilkington kite site and Litton nvg's we had a few years ago in the military?

I was on the trial that tested that gear among others and although they were not my personal preference, they were pretty good bits of kit all the same.
I seen plenty of animals with both while doing army stuff. With and without IR assistance.
Has what we can buy now got better than that, is what I am asking?

Somewhere here I have a Pilkington Kite MK4 and a set of Litton PVS-7A goggles in Gen3. Yes the Gen3 I import is way above either of thoes units. Above the Litton and way above the Kite. The Kite is still my shooting night scope. Its had a hard life & came back from Bosnia ex someones army. But I have had it 10 or so years and it just keeps running so have never replaced it. Actually all the D-740 & D-760 Nightscopes I have imported in Gen2+ have been better than the kite. The photo shows a PVS-7B not ``A``unit.
