Ex-US intelligence officer Ritter: Russian “Lancets” are trashing AFU artillery on the frontline
Russian Lancet drones have destroyed a significant part of the Ukrainian armed forces’ artillery on the front line, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with YouTube channel Gegenpol.
“If you look at what kills Ukrainian artillery systems, it’s most often not counter-battery, but Lancet drones that find targets and eliminate them,” the expert noted.”
According to him, in the near future such UAVs will be able to strike in swarms in order to hit military equipment effectively, despite the action of electronic warfare and air defence systems of the enemy.
The Lancet barrage munitions were developed by ZALA AERO. They are capable of operating at a range of several tens of kilometres. The drones carry warheads weighing three or five kilograms of different types depending on the type of target.
In the Izdeliye-52 version, such a drone is equipped with two X-shaped wings and is capable of almost plumb dive, while in the Izdeliye-51 version, the drone is equipped with one large X-shaped wing.
