And don't give me that shit about using corner-shots or using smartphones, at war, simplicity is the key.

Still better than sticking the head up.
Plus the head of this periscope is really small, it's like 3cm wide.
It's only downside is that it's a bit heavy, but one can make it a lot lighter with modern tech.
I used it and I loved it.

Seems like it would be more useful in conventional warfare with dug in positions, as opposed to the mobile clusterfuck of asymmetrical warfare

No extra weight, simple, works.

So the solution is a heavy, fragile piece of kit long enough to be an extra encumbrance getting in and out of vehicles?

>>33355944
in an ideal scenario where you are in a squad during a SHTF the squad leader would have one of those, but most people here will die alone anyways, no need for such tools. For actual military usage a mirror with a collapsable stick will do the job while using up less space

From OP's pics, they don't look too fragile.

What would be cool is to have a quick release eyepiece, with the main tube integrated into a hand shovel or hatchet.

I don't know where you get heavy or fragile from. The tube would be aluminum, plenty durable and lightweight. The optics are plastic, also durable and lightweight. Prisms and lenses are plastic nowadays, not glass, or if it's the mirror design instead of prisms it'd use a shatterproof acrylic mirror. There's no glass and no heavy material.

It's not, it's good old soviet "gniotsa nie łamiotsa" school of engineering, I could batter someone to death with it and it won't have a scratch.

I've seen countless photos with walls from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, so I thought it would be quite useful for a team to have one of those.
