I think the point made earlier about keeping the oculars clean especially in snow/slush/high dirt/dust conditions would be an incredibly serious problem.

The Oculars are no problem because the turret will be in a stowed position until the radar sensors detect a missile launch.

Three of these have been flying since August of 2006, and just reached 12,000 flight hours.
