Built by NPZ/НПЗ (Новосибирский Приборостроительный Завод/Novosibirsk Instrument-Building Plant), initial production and troops trials began in 1993, with adoption by the MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs) happening on June 7th, 1995 (Pavel, 2010). The НИТЬ appears to have never been adopted by the Russian army as it never received an offical GRAU number. Sights can be found marked either НИТЬ of НИТЬ-A. Documented manuals (currently only three) have final inspection dates between 2008 and 2013, suggesting at least two production runs by NPZ (one in the 90s and another in the 2000s).
Many of the design features of NPZ's later 1P63 sight can be traced back to the NITA.
