Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of everyone within 5 miles can see your glowing eyes?
The Russian T-90 tank uses infrared emitters as countermeasures, looks like a pair of angry eyes: https://www.army-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2...

Wouldn't this be a great target for an IR guided missile?

Not really, the coating on fluorescent tubes uses a quite different mechanism. The phosphor coating of fluorescent tubes downconverts UV light into visible wavelengths (is, lower energy/frequency) through the process of fluorescence. The UV photons excite the electrons of the phosphor molecules to higher energy states, after which they emit photons at lower frequencies/energies (visible light) as they fluoresce back…
Do you have an URL or reference for this film? Thanks.
I've always wanted glasses that can convert color to grey-scale. Wear them and walk into a black-and-white movie.

Exactly. Missiles would hit the emitters, where the armor is the thickest, giving the crew and tank the best chance of survival.

Yep, if it works at all, ITAR will slap it with a "Don't even think about using this for anything" label.
No, if they slap a label on it, it isn't "Don't Use It", it is "Don't even think about exporting this without permission.". It may have been relaxed, but regular IR cameras that we can buy and use here everyday in the US may land you in jail for selling them in eBay and shipping them to a customer in China or Iran. But we can buy, sell, and use them freely.
