The Russian military’s Battlegroup Center troops have successfully used the Penicillin coustic-thermal artillery-reconnaissance system to locate artillery positions of Kiev forces on the Krasny Liman front, spokesman for the battlegroup Alexander Savchuk told TASS on April 15.
The Penicillin was developed by Russia’s Ruselectronics to detect and locate artillery, mortars, multiple rocket launchers, anti-aircraft or tactical-missile firing positions with seismic and acoustic sensors.
The system does not emit any radio waves which makes it immune to electromagnetic warfare and impossible to detect by radio-technical means. It can locates enemy fire within five seconds at a range of 25 kilometers
“In the course of counter-battery warfare in the Krasny Liman direction, the Penicillin artillery reconnaissance complex of the Battlegroup Center uncovered enemy artillery positions, which were destroyed by gunfire,” Savchuk told the Russian news agency.
The Russian military has been using the Penicillin system to locate the artillery positions of Kiev forces since the start of the special operation in Ukraine more than a year ago.
Last November, a batch of Penicillin systems were handed over to the Russian military. The systems were quickly deployed in the special military operation zone.
Ukraine received more than 800 artillery systems and dozens of counter-battery radars from the United States and other NATO members. Despite this, its forces are still outgunned by the Russian military. Kiev forces have reportedly sustained heavy human and material losses as a result of Russian artillery fire.

How much artillery does ukraine still have? since the beginning of the year the russians have accelerated their destruction, more than 400 in less than 5 months, but there still seems to be as many
we sent them thousands of junk pieces, so that they can maintain busy the russian. Theyare used agsinst civilians but they are innefective for gaining positions on the Battlefield. However, Russia is forced to deal with such pieces of junk for protecting civillians and being able to advance with the lowest number of casualities. The Target of NATO is just to delay the advance of Russia as far as the ukros wanna continue their suicide, but there is no long therm plan. They know the victory is impossible.
Don’t forget that many destroyed systems are towed to Poland or Slovakia to be repaired and sent back to the front. 1/3 of all equipment sent by the west is always being repaired due to it being targeted or in need of repairs. Ukraine has long logistics for this equipment that allocates resources but they don’t need to repair it them selves.
What a bullshit. Try to take your shitty Corolla to a Toyota dealer body shop after it got hit by a grenade 😆😆
you don’t understood the FACT that they do not pay for repair their systems, is the west, with money paid by taxes which must be used to other needs, and also that is a crime, west people , under propaganda and censorship prefer to not try to understand what’s happening. But all of that de facto will bring EU principally to a failed entity. The same of what’s happened in Ukronazia. When also humanitarian help is taken by army and nazi entities to enrich personally their commanders. excuse me for little english
Well the US and NATO are gon a find they have very artillery pieces left in their stocks soon enough. Word is there are a bunch of marines around the world who seem to have no artty for them to use. Story is the are being replaced or sent in for maintenance… being turned to scrap metal
It’s obvious . More is being supplied to the Ukrainians than the west lets on.
I dont get this. I think that this is bs. Acustic to locate a gun?
No its true.
When blasting in quarries, blast monitoring is required by legislation.
You use a multiple seismographs and microphones around the blast site.
The microphone is very important and sensitive. You cant hear it but on the computer screen its obvious.
I did blast monitoring for 4 years.
Acousic rangefinding, like the ‘Shot spotter’ system, originally developed by the US military and now increasingly used in cities like Detroit
Failed tests in Chicago , so many consecutive shots that the unit’s circuits overloaded.

If you put your ears to the ground you can hear things like horses, footfall and traffic, through the ground. People used to put their ears to the ground in order to hear whether horses were nearby or whether the BUFFALO were moving into the area. If your ear can pick a lot up, then machines can be created which pick things up too.
The lyrics from the shortest song I know is taken from a Saharan Desert wisdom saying: “One drop don’t make no sound, two drops don’t make no mud, put your ear to the ground, can you hear the flood?”
Knowing that there is a system like this, which is probably based on the Doppler effect, is part of general knowledge. Who taught you and prepared you for life’s journey…
A thermal-acoustic detector that doesn’t emit any electrical signal… Intriguing
A microphone is an acoustic detector and doesn’t émit any signal. A caméra is an electromagnetic detector and doesn’t emit any signal. In consequence it can detect infra red electromagnetic waves like thé little cameras used in flir thermal scopes. Nothing intriguing.
The thermal signature at the instant firing gives the time and the bearing, the acoustic signature through the earth gives the range. An array of two or three of these systems could pinpoint a weapon with remarkable accuracy.
Very well said.
Impressive , if they actually work .
