New footage of the successful use of Lancet suicide drones by the Russian military has been released. This time, domestic drones hit the Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, the Polish Crab self-propelled gun mount, the Gvozdika self-propelled gun mount and the Giacint-B artillery gun.
For some time now, Russian Lancet kamikaze drones have become a real nightmare for Ukrainian army units. Domestic drones also managed to hit artillery pieces and mounts of self-propelled guns, tanks and tank trucks.
It is difficult to calculate the exact losses of the Ukrainian army from the actions of the Lancets, but it is obvious that they already amount to dozens of units of various equipment and a large number of members of the Forces Ukrainian armies.
It should be noted that the countermeasures taken by the Ukrainian side against the actions of Russian kamikaze drones did not bring the expected result. For some time now, Ukrainian gunners, for example, have begun to stretch metal nets on their guns. It was supposed to be an effective defense against the Lancets.
However, the effect of this innovation was very short-lived. Russian drones have started to use new tactics. Now they attack the camouflaged guns of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the rear and in most cases destroy them together with crews and ammunition.
The modernization of Lancet drones, which resulted in an increase in the mass of explosives that the drone can carry, allows it to destroy even heavy armored vehicles. In a word, no longer a single unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces can feel protected from Russian kamikaze drones.
