Originally designed at the end of WWII to fight Nazis the militarized Kardon wouldn't be delivered until 1951 when it would've been used to oppose and subvert Russian influence at the dawn of the cold war.
Made at huge loss in America by a Russian immigrant from what's now a part of Ukraine, btw.

The military Kardon was engineered to have an operating range of -70 to 150º. _Fahrenheit_ and each copy delivered was tested to still work at -67º.
They had a sterling field record but were never reordered because American cameras gave away American spies.
