Russia’s Lancet drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and loitering munition – another name for a sophisticated kamikaze drone. It poses a significant threat to high-value equipment and has proven to be an ideal weapon on the battlefield.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage of Russian drone operators of the Battlegroup Dnepr destroying a Slovak-made Zuzana self-propelled howitzer.
«UAV operators of the Battlegroup Dnepr have destroyed a Slovak Zuzana self-propelled howitzer. The 155 mm howitzer, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces used to shell the positions of Russian troops, was hit by a Lancet drone,» the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry explained that after the drone struck, powder charges in the artillery piece ignited, leading to the detonation and destruction of the gun.
