The Russian Ministry of Defense has received a new batch of Penicillin acoustic-thermal artillery-reconnaissance systems, RIA Novosti reported on November 17.

According to the Russian news agency, the newly-delivered systems will soon be deployed in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.

“The Russian Ministry of Defense received another batch of the advanced 1B76 Penicillin acoustic and infrared reconnaissance systems,” the agency said, adding that the device can “effectively detects the positions of the Ukrainian artillery and transmits coordinates for their prompt destruction.”

The Penicillin was developed by Ruselectronics especially for the Russian military. The system can detect and locate enemy artillery, mortars, multiple rocket launchers, anti-aircraft or tactical-missile firing positions with seismic and acoustic sensors. It can locates enemy fire within 5 seconds at a range of 25 kilometers

The system does not emits any radio waves which makes it immune to electromagnetic warfare and impossible to detect by radio-technical means.

The Penicillin has been already used in Ukraine, where it proved to be highly-effective. The system was able to located, among other things, NATO-grade artillery recently supplied to Kiev forces.
