The 1P87 is a Russian red dot sight developed by JSC, intended as an EOTech alternative. While it features standard controls and a unique reticle (60 MOA circle with 2 MOA dot and hash marks), its significant blue glass tint hinders target acquisition. Despite its robust build and included accessories like an AK side mount, its weight, bulk, short battery life, and optical drawbacks make it difficult to recommend over modern alternatives like Holosun or EOTech.
