Russia loses Ukraine in the war of drones: why hostile "lanceti" far from the ideal - Forbes

On the front, the Dronov-Kamikadze Lacet type has increased, which "hunt" for Ukrainian artillery. UAVs are equipped with an automated guidance system, but it is already known for its disadvantages. Russia has intensified the deployment of lancet -type shock drones, increasing their use almost twice. Forbes explained on June 25 how effective they are on the front line.

The publication described "Lancet" as one of the most effective types of weapons of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which is essentially "large farm FPV". A blow on a factory that produces lanceolate cameras has only slowed production for a while. However, in May, Russia set a record - almost twice the attacks of these UAVs than before. It is noted that one of the main tasks of "Lancetes" is a counter -brewer's fire on Ukrainian artillery.

One of the Ukrainian commanders shared that Dron-Kamikadze had suffered three hit, but did not get serious damage. According to him, such "survivability" is the result of a combination of good armor and a good design, through which ammunition is hidden deep inside. Lancet has an automated guidance system that can be aimed even in the event of a loss of communication. The media suggested that it works on the basis of illegally acquired NVidia chips in the United States.

However, the software for guidance has disadvantages. In particular, the footage from the front was recorded how the drone was fixed on the shadows from the technique and was smeared. Ukrainian intelligence published a photo of six M777 howitzers made of old pipes. The material says that if you mask, it will be difficult to distinguish them from the real ones from the air.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation could lose the "large number of" drones against baits, at least one mulag was attacked by a "lancet". The media informed that more and more "lancets" really pose a threat to the artillery forces of defense. However, Ukraine is struck by a combination of its own "Lancet" and FPV. The "victim" of the attack is a badly located Russian artillery. "While Lacet's blows can now last at 300 a month, Ukraine produces more than 3000 FPV a day.

Lancet is undoubtedly effective, but most likely it will be overshadowed by other ammunition. In the war, which requires both quantity and quality, Russia can lose in both cases, " - added in the publication. We will remind, the forces of defense "neutralized" the rare Russian all-terrain "Plastun". Its uniqueness is the protection of armor, combined with the absence of a roof. On the front "the newest Russian Sau" Malva "lit up.
