The Ministry of Defense showed the work of the Penicillin artillery reconnaissance complex

Against the “infection” called “artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, the RF Armed Forces use their own “medicine” called 1B75 “Penicillin”. The Russian Ministry of Defense showed the combat operation of the crew of this modern artillery reconnaissance complex (began entering service with the troops in December 2020, developed by the Vector Research Institute).

It is noted that this artillery reconnaissance tool is designed to identify firing positions of cannon and rocket artillery, as well as anti-aircraft and tactical missiles. In the video below, the department clearly showed how 1B75 Penicillin works. In the footage, the fighters tell how the firing positions of enemy “art” are identified, in this case in the Kupyansky direction. They demonstrate how the sound metering system functions.




First, a portable hemispherical sound receiver is installed on the ground - a sound-collecting device, which then transmits data via a cable to a sound-measuring complex in the vehicle, which analyzes sound waves from shots of various artillery and mortar guns. Then the computer processes the received information and produces coordinate points at which to strike. After this, the station personnel transmits the information to the command post, which makes a decision.

Highly sensitive equipment allows you to detect the sound of an artillery gun shot at a distance of up to 50 km. At the same time, the passivity of 1B75 “Penicillin” in radio emissions reduces the likelihood of its detection by radio equipment. Receiving, processing and transmitting data requires minimal time, which increases the effectiveness of counter-battery warfare.
