Threat to Western equipment: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to use Lacet UAV more often - the media

According to journalists, cheap Russian drones can cause significant harm to expensive military equipment. In addition, these drones fly low and slowly, which complicates the task for air defense. The Russian Federation is increasing the use of lancet unmanned aerial vehicles that can destroy equipment that many times higher than their cost. Reuter writes about it on June 28.

The Armed Forces servicemen of four different artillery calculations confessed to journalists that Lancet UAVs became one of the main threats that they collided on the battlefield. "Earlier, in the spring, they did not use" lancets "as often as it is now," - said the Ukrainian defender with the call sign "Doc".

According to Senior Researcher at the New American Security Center, Samuel Bendett, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation encourages an increase in the production of cheap drones-Kamikadze. Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yuri Sak also stated about the increase in the scale of the Lacet Rosets by the Russians. According to him, they fly low and slowly, knocking down the air defense system designed to intercept the quickly moving goals.

"Every day we knock down at least one or two such" lanceotes ". . . But unfortunately, this is not a 100 percent probability of intercepting," the adviser said. Yuri Sak noted that to combat Russian UAVs Ukraine requires automatic antiberial guns with radars, as well as radio -electronic fighting systems. We will remind that on June 6 it became known about the attack of the drone "Lancet" on the Russian truck "Ural" together with the occupiers.
