Russian military engineers have developed a device that allows seeing through walls, Rossiyskaya Gazeta (RG) reported.

Paris is hosting the 19th Milipol Worldwide Exhibition of Internal State Security on November 17-20. According to the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), Russia displayed 84 military equipment models at the military exhibition.

Among these military devices Russia showed two scanners that allow seeing through walls. One of them weighs only 0.6 kg and can see through the walls from the distance of 14 meters. The second wall-see-through-scanner is heavier (4.5 kg) but one could use it from the distance of 20 meters, RG said.

The scanners can detect not only movements of people, but also their breathing. No device showed the same characteristics previously.

Russia also showed devices that can detect crime-related burials, dig outs with weapons and even tunnels, RG said.

Furthermore, Russian manufacturers unveiled a device capable of remotely detecting potential suicide bombers.

"We have a device that can remotely detect a suicide belt called ‘Anker-R.' This prototype is capable of identifying the suicide belt on a person at a distance of five to six meters [16-19 feet]," YUTTA Chief Executive Vladimir Tkach told RIA Novosti on Thursday.

The gadget — a portable flat screen with wireless headphones — hunts down its target via an electromagnetic field emitted by the suicide belt's explosives.

Tkach noted that the device is unable to detect shell-less explosives inside the belts, but claimed that the majority of these belts use explosives to provide a maximum destructive capability.

Security arrangements at the event, a trade show to display weapons, armament and surveillance technologies marketed to governments for population control, were expanded following the November 13 coordinated terrorist attacks across several Paris venues that killed 129 and injured over 350.
