I bought these binoculars from Amazon:
USCAMEL 10X50 Marine Binoculars for Adults with Rangefinder Compass, Waterproof Marine Binoculars for Sailing Boating Fishing https://a.co/d/1m7xJbK
They seem good to me, but this is not my area of expertise. What problems do you see in them? I'm a private military contractor and I need a decent pair for Ukraine and maybe other locations.

Understanding Binoculars and What to Look For When Buying Them
Binoculars are essential for enjoying birds and nature. Mark delves into the "numbers" to help you understand them and what to look in helping you make an in...
I would suggest that you go to a sporting goods store and ask to see that various binoculars available see what style suits your needs. Once you find a good pair then order them on-line.
The link to the ones above is a set of nice binoculars but I would also recommend you find a smaller set for simply the weigh and compactness moving through woodland areas by crawling, stealthy movement or running.

they look ok but you neet to see what the shock rating is, are the lenses coated for laser protection and most importantly, is the scale inside the optic a Mil Radian scale, that is adaptable for range finding on a MGRS map or is it set up for a different scale and using UTM maps. UGRS and UTM are similar but not exactly the same.

SSG Roger Ayscue - I'm looking at Steiner Military/Marine. The 7x50, 8x30, and 10x50 are all within a reasonable budget. Any recommendations as far as these go?

Considerations are Size vs features. Do all have the ranging reticle, are any laser coated, and maximum light transferability through an objective lens.
10 power magnification is a great tool, but a 50mm objective transfers the same amount of light as a 30mm lens, if the crystal is of the same quality and lead content.

Off Subject, BUT:
Why Do Survival Kits NOT Contain A Magnifying Glass?
Not So Much For Just Increasing The Visual Effect,
But To Use To Magnify The Suns Power To Start Fires.
Thereby Reducing Or Eliminating The Need For Matches,
And Other Disposable Supplies, Which Require Replacements?
