MOSCOW, July 10. /TASS/. The latest acoustic reconnaissance system Zavarukha, designed to detect enemy firing positions, has been deployed to the Russian special military operation zone in Ukraine, a spokesman for the NPO Alfa Research and Production Association told TASS.
"The latest counter-battery system Zavarukha is the most compact sound reconnaissance system for detecting enemy firing positions. Its microphone array measures no more than 1 meter. The Zavarukha has already undergone combat testing in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), as well as in the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Zaporozhye Regions. The system has demonstrated a high level of detection accuracy: the error does not exceed 400 meters at a range of over 20 km, which is sufficient for supplementary reconnaissance by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). At a range of 12 km, the error does not exceed 150 meters. The maximum confirmed detection and direction-finding range is 27 km," the company said.
Alfa NPO clarified that the system’s battery life is five days. "Thanks to its small size and absolute passivity--the system emits no radiation--Zavarukha features greater stealth. During combat use, the system has detected Ukrainian troops’ firing positions, including various self-propelled artillery pieces such as the Polish-made Caesar and Krab," the source added.
