# PDU-4

{% hint style="info" %}
Introduced in **0.2.414**
{% endhint %}

PDU-4 is a Russian binocular rangefinder with day optics with a 360° digital compass and a laser rangefinder. It provides distance measurements up to 9 km with 7x magnification.

The engraved reticle has a long line spacing of 10 mils and short line spacing of 5 mils. 1 mil corresponds to 1 m spacing at a distance of 1 km. In the image below you can see a 1 m cube being sighted at 100 m being exactly 10 mils.

Due to unavailability of documentation, the functionality of the PDi in game is identical to that of [Vector-21](/rhs-status-quo-user-documentation/arma-reforger/rhs-status-quo/blufor/gadgets/vector-21.md). We suspect that in real life it is also close.

While looking through the binocular view you can perform the following actions:
