"Lacet's production" abbreviated ": As the blows in Russia disrupted the supply of drones (video)

In August 2023, the Ukrainian military struck the Optical and Mechanical Plant. The company supplied optical supplies for UAV production, reported journalists. The Ukrainian military could damage the production of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles. This was reported by Forbes. The newspaper noted that Dron-Kamikadze "Lancet" was one of the most effective types of weapons of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the war against Ukraine. This device has shot tanks, artillery and other equipment.

In July 2023, the number of these UAVs increased significantly, but "something interrupted. " According to the Ukrainian OSint-Group "Molfar", a successful strike of the Armed Forces on the Optical and Mechanical Plant (ZOMZ), which supplied optical accessories for the drone manufacturer, could be the reason for this. On August 9, 2023, Roszma reported a powerful explosion in the territory of the Optical and Mechanical Plant in the city of Sergiyev posts of Moscow region.

This enterprise was engaged in the production of optical and optoelectronic devices. As a result of the attack, four enterprise buildings were seriously damaged. Also, 30 people were hospitalized. The Molfar Osint Group believes that the explosion could be planned by the Ukrainian side. Zomb was engaged in the release of binoculars and sights for the Russian army. In addition, the company was related to the production of optical accessories.

According to the Ukrainian analyst Dmitry Snegirev, the plant was probably related to the production of components for the drone "Kub" and "Lancet". According to the estimates of the Russian OSINT-Group Lostarmour, at the beginning of 2023 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used about 25 UAVs "Lancet" a month, while by April this figure grew to 50 units, and in July reached 135. After August, the figure began September-October was at 50 units, in November-89, and in December-59.

"Instead of rapid growth of production" Lancet "was reduced",-the message reads. Russian Defense Minister Alexei Kryvoruchko stated that 3,500 drones were produced in 2023. Instead, the Russian production expert, Samuel Bendett, noted that this number includes the reconnaissance UAVs "Orlan", "Zula", "Lancet" and large military multi -digiters.

If two -thirds of the production were occupied by cheap "lanceotes" rather than other expensive types, there would be about 2300 units, while in 2023, 779 devices were reported, which means two misses for each impact. On August 9, a powerful explosion occurred at the Optical and Mechanical Plant in the Sergiyev position of the Moscow region. The explosions were damaged by apartments and people were injured.
