The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to use a new drone "Izdelie-53": what is known about the improved "Lancet" (photo)
This was reported on October 28 by the Analysts of the Institute of War Study (ISW). "According to sources, the Izdelie-53 drone is equipped with an automatic guidance system that allows you to distinguish between target types and increase the efficiency of blows," wrote observers. The material emphasizes that the occupiers do not use "Izdelie-53" on a wide scale, but Russian sources report that now the Russian troops are testing them to cause mass synchronized swarms.
"The military command of the Russian Federation may think that a large number of percussion drones will allow Russian troops to overcome the Ukrainian air defense," the analysts have suggested. However, at the same time, they emphasized that judging by the stated characteristics of "Izdelie-53", the combat part of drones, which ranges from 3 to 5 kg, may not be insufficient to make significant damage to most important military facilities.
It should be noted that information about the new Russian drone appeared in Roszma in July this year. Then the propagandists gave the words of Zala Aero's chief designer Alexander Zakharov, who spoke about a series of tests of new UAV. According to him, the new "lancet" is set to autonomous detection of specific types of armored vehicles and artillery, and before launching the operator you only need to give the drone to the team and specify the area of execution of the combat mission.
"(Drone) looking for only armor or artillery. Only armor. Accordingly, neither pickups nor people will be injured there," Zakharov said. Another feature of the drone is the identification of objects based on the priority of the value of a particular equipment.
The designer explained that the drone has a kind of "internal accounting", and if the area of his combat work will be, for example, a tank or aircraft system, then as a priority purpose will be selected by the air defense system, as it is more expensive. As for the destructive power of "Izdelie-53", according to the developers, the combat part of the flea ammunition at the expense of the cumulative jet is allegedly capable of punching the medium-digestion.
Russian "troops" write that the use of "lancets" with the system of automatic guidance and distribution of goals has not yet reached a large scale. At the same time, we can expect that over time they will gradually displace all other versions and will be used everywhere.
In the long term, the use of new UAVs can not only allow anti -tank lamps in large areas, but will also allow coordinated attacks for disrupting the offensive operations of the enemy or rapid damage to critically important infrastructure objects, Russian experts emphasized. Earlier it was reported that Russian instructors arrive in Belarus to conduct exercises with local military management drones.
