In the area of the special military operation, another successful use of the Lancet kamikaze drone by the Russian military was recorded. This time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces boat became the target of lurking ammunition.
According to the army, Russian intelligence has discovered a base of Ukrainian armed forces warships in the Zaporizhzhia region, which are patrolling the Dnieper and preparing a landing operation to take Energodar.
Russian scouts spotted one of the boats while patrolling the waters of the Dnieper.
It is a fairly large boat, armed with heavy machine guns. This can create a lot of problems for the coastline.
say the Russian military.
The coordinates of the target were immediately transferred to the unit, which is armed with Lancet suicide drones. At the same time, the professionalism of the drone operator is noted.
The Lancet’s blow fell exactly on the ship’s wheelhouse. The ship did not sink, but was completely burned. The crew abandoned ship. The boat is no longer suitable for combat missions.
It should be noted that this is the first known case of a Russian Lancet suicide bomber hitting a target in the waters of the Dnieper. Previously, trailing ammo primarily destroyed ground targets. Among them are Western-style self-propelled artillery mounts, howitzers and American tanks.
We add that the Zaporizhzhia region is often pointed to as the main direction of the next counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
