"Simples" artillery for 50 km: the Russian Federation uses the Penicillin Complex in Ukraine (photo)

According to him, when the Fighters of the Armed Forces first discovered a sensor of the article complex, they did not dare to approach it for a long time, fearing that they were caught by a new Russian mine, which the detail is visually similar. The expert noted that the conditionally complex "Penicillin" consists of two parts. The first part is a set of cameras and thermal imagers on the tower, but the second is the sensors that unfold around the hardware.

"The sensors are attributed to the machine in different directions according to a clearly defined scheme and connected to the equipment of signal processing with a conventional field cable. The complex makes it possible to determine the shot place up to 50 kilometers. But the type of installation on the ground, " - said Sergei Flash. The expert added that the main advantage of "penicillin" is that he works in passive mode and does not radiate anything on the air.

The complex is designed for reconnaissance of firing positions of gap and jet artillery, as well as for anti -aircraft and tactical missiles. Penicillin software and hardware make it possible to receive and record acoustic and thermal signals from shots, tears and to give the operator accurate coordinates of the gun for manual and automatic application on an electronic card. In this case, the time of obtaining coordinates of a single target that leads firing is no more than five seconds.

Structurally, the complex is made on the basis of the KAMAZ army truck with remote sounds and an optical-electronic module, equipped with cameras operating in particular in the infrared spectrum. The complex is able to effectively conduct reconnaissance at any time of the day in a wide range of temperatures from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius.

According to the developer, unlike American radar products An/TPQ-36, "Penicillin" does not use radio waves, so it cannot be died and suppressed by radio electronic fight systems. The first party of complexes of artillery intelligence "Penicillin", developed by the Vector Research Institute, which is part of "Vega", came to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in December 2020.

In the second half of October 2022, the Russian media appeared that the arthle intelligence complexes were applied at the front in Ukraine. And at the beginning of March 2023, the media in the Russian Federation wrote that the number of Russian complexes "penicillin" in the war zone in Ukraine will double. Earlier, Sergei Flesh said that Ukrainian troops lose a lot of drones because of the new systems of the RSF of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The Russians began to use portable complexes called "frying pans", which are aimed at affecting GPS signals and control channels, as well as "trenches" of the type "Piton", "Harpun", "Strizh". The invaders are waiting for the UAV to come closer and then turn on the "muffins", leaving no chance of salvation. In addition, the expert named the best system to protect the Armed Forces from Russian drones.
