Russia has taken its drones to a new level. The new-generation Lancet drones pose a serious threat to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Journalist Christoph Wanner said this in a report for the German TV channel Welt.
According to Christoph Wanner, Russia has improved its production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and taken its drones to the next level during its special military operation in Ukraine.
“They have managed to spin up production and improve the drones,” Wanner said.
The journalist considers the Lancet drones among the most effective drones used by Russian troops.
The journalist called the UAV’s exceptional feature the ability to attack on the operator’s command. The latter determines the area of impact, but the target kamikaze drone completely chooses itself. Wanner suggested that the new modification may be endowed with artificial intelligence.
Recall, the Armed forces of the Russian Federation with the help of a modernised drone-kamikaze “Lancet” again hit the Su-25 attack aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force (VVSU) at the military airfield Dolgintsevo in Krivoy Rog. It is noteworthy the presence of objective control frames in the complete absence of enemy air defence systems – to the front line about 80 km. Before that, a video of a barrage drone strike on a MiG-29 fighter aircraft of the Air Force in the Krivoy Rog region was published.
