According to SF, Lostarmour.info has just published the number of Ukrainian military equipment destroyed by Russian Lancet suicide drones. Accordingly, as of March 8, Russian Lancet has destroyed 1,210 military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Since the start of Russia’s special military operation, Lostarmour has documented attacks by Russian Lancet suicide drones on Ukrainian military assets. These figures are based on visual evidence such as videos and photographs.
According to a summary provided by Lostarmour, Russian Lancet strikes have so far destroyed or damaged 224 self-propelled guns, 235 towed guns, 31 multiple rocket launchers, 165 main battle tanks, 114 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 64 air defense systems and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 71 electronic warfare radars and communications systems, and one fighter aircraft.
In the past two months, the rate of recorded airstrikes has more than doubled compared to the previous few months.
This past week, Lostarmour documented 22 Russian Lancet suicide drone attacks across the front lines in the special military operations area in Ukraine.
Recent attacks destroyed or damaged six self-propelled guns, including a US-made M109 and a Swedish-made Archer; three towed guns, including a US-made M777; five main battle tanks; a Ukrainian-made BTR-4 infantry fighting vehicle; two anti-aircraft guns, including a German-made Gepard 1A2 self-propelled gun; two radars, including a US-made AN/TPQ-36 radar; a Ukrainian-made Plastun-RP3000 signal guidance system; and a US-made Humvee.
ZALA Aero, a subsidiary of the Russian defense giant Kalashnikov Concern, produces two versions of the Lancet. The Izdeliye-52 has a 30-minute endurance and carries a 1-kg warhead, and the larger Izdeliye-51 has a 40-minute endurance and is equipped with a 3-kg warhead.
By design, the Lancet suicide drone flies towards the designated area using an inertial navigation system with the support of GLONASS. After reaching the designated area, the operator uses an electro-optical system to detect, track and lock on the target. A laser rangefinder then controls the detonation of the warhead.
Due to its small radar cross-section and minimal infrared signature, the Lancet suicide drone is difficult to detect and intercept.
