🎓 What Are MILS (Milliradians) and Why Use Them?

Unlike standard compasses divided into 360 degrees, the SILVA 55 uses 6400 mils—a military standard that allows finer precision and more accurate angular distance calculation.
Example: Two targets 100 mils apart at a distance of 1000 metres are separated by approximately 100 metres on the ground—ideal for fire correction, range finding, and precise troop movement.
