OREANDA-NEWS Due to its compactness, the Zavarukha counter-battery warfare system, unlike similar Penicillin and AZK-7M complexes, can be used near the line of combat contact. The comparison of the systems was carried out by the scientific and production association (NPO) Alfa. This is reported by TASS.

The organization noted that Penicillin and AZK-7M are artillery reconnaissance complexes that are mounted on a KAMAZ or Ural truck truck chassis. "Therefore, the use of such weapons near the line of contact (LBF) is almost impossible, they become a priority target for the enemy and are very quickly disabled," the NGO said.

They added that the maintenance of Penicillin and AZK-7M requires 20 people. In addition, according to NGO data, "Zavarukha" costs 60 times cheaper than "Penicillin" and AZK-7M.
