The VILMA is a occluded eye gunsight (OEG) produced and used by Cuba. Little is known about the sight, but is presumably outdated by most other sights and optics. The name VILMA is an abrevation for Visor Lumínico para Matar Agresores (Illuminated sight to Kill Aggressors), although internet lore is actually named for Raul Castro's wife Vilma Espin.
