Russian soldiers in #Ukraine were spoted using "Laser warning devices" to warn them against illumination from Laser sources (range finders etc) for example from snipers or UAV.
See:

spartanat.com/2023/01/ukrain… The device is shown here and very likely uses 2 Photodiodes on top (black circles) to detect the laser light. Note that the picture already tells us that they are only able to detect lasers from front/top of the soldier. The russians are apparently using them helmet mounted.
