🔬 What Are MILS—and Why Do They Matter?
MILS (Milliradians) divide a circle into 6400 graduations, offering more precision than standard 360° compasses.
Military professionals use MILS for estimating distance, fire correction, and angular measurement:
If two objects appear 100 MILS apart at 1000m, they are approximately 100m apart on the ground.
Perfect for target acquisition, tactical movement, and artillery coordination.
