Russian Lancet kamikaze drones have become the most dangerous drones used against the Ukrainian army. This opinion was published in an article by The Economist.
“This suicide bomber harvested all of the Western howitzers, self-propelled guns and MLRS supplied to Kiev,” the publication said.
The main success of this vagrant ammunition lies in the destruction of a large number of enemy guns. At the same time, it has a fairly economical price. So, one “Lancet – 3” costs less than 50 thousand dollars, and its potential target – for example, the American howitzer M777 – is about four million dollars. The destruction of American weapons with the help of “Lancets” decently reduced the number of attacks on Donetsk.
Tanks have become a problem for Russian kamikaze drones, the publication claims. But the threat emanating from him is recognized even in Kiev. Thus, the adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Anton Gerashchenko, said that the Lancet is the most dangerous drone for the Ukrainian armed forces. And many military correspondents call this drone a very effective means of counter-battery combat.
As a result, from a weapon for local strikes, the Lancets have become an inconspicuous means of disrupting the enemy’s counteroffensive, the publication’s analysts conclude.
Earlier, military expert Viktor Litovkin explained what is the main advantage of the Russian Lancet drone, which the Russian armed forces actively use in the special operation zone. According to the expert, the main positive quality is the extremely quiet operation of the drone.
