Thank you for the writeup. It isn't clear how effective Penicillin systems are against HIMARS though, if indeed they are shorter ranged than radar variants. Only if said MLRS are firing at targets far behind the Penicillin would the system possibly be effective, if indeed the range is significant shorter as noted.
I'm not saying that the system is not fantastically effective within its range. Counterbattery against battlefield range systems is vitally important especially against 155 mm artillery like the M777, other NATO and ex-Soviet systems but far less clear about effectiveness against even non ATACMS HIMARS.
Penicillin is another layer in the Russian airplane, missile and artillery protective umbrella.

Like the Theramin passive bug placed in the Great Seal of the U.S. Moscow embassy.
Shouldn't the last sentence be Penicillin is the cure RUSSIA has been looking for? Ukraine the infection Russia is the host.
