Russian kamikaze drones “Lancet” have become one of the most effective means of counter-battery combat in the area of a special military operation. Nearly half of Western artillery systems destroyed by Russian troops are due to Lancets.
According to a RIA Novosti source, around 45% of the more than 100 howitzers were specifically hit by suicide drones. At the same time, the source of the Russian agency emphasizes that these are M777 howitzers and M109 Paladin self-propelled guns.
By the way, it is these artillery systems that cause the most damage to Russian troops. And the fact that an effective means of combating them has appeared at the disposal of the RF armed forces cannot but rejoice.
The Lancet is good in almost every way. It needs minimal time to detect and defeat the target. At the same time, in most cases, one trailing ammunition is enough for a Russian drone to hit an expensive target. In addition, it seriously saves the time needed to scout the positions of Ukrainian artillery units.
The successes and advantages of the Russian Lancet unmanned aerial vehicle have already been recognized and noted in the West. In particular, in the Czech Republic, they emphasize the ability of a drone to independently make decisions in a confrontation while evading enemy anti-aircraft guns and searching for targets.
