Russia is actively using summer scouts and Kamikadze, but they are unable to cause significant damage to the Armed Forces. The Russian army strikes in the Nikolaev area with the help of Russian drones-Kamikadze "Lancet-3". This was reported by a spokesman for the operational command "South" Vladislav Nazarov in the summary for November 1.

The Ukrainian military reported that on Tuesday the Russians attacked the positions of the Armed Forces in Beryslav and Mykolaiv districts, launching the drones of "Lancet" from the occupied districts of Kherson region.

The South Operational Command emphasizes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation beats the Ukrainian forces in the rear districts and communities located in the frontline, from all available weapons, including UAVs.

In addition to drones-Kamikadze, on November 1, the invaders launched reconnaissance drones more than 30 times. On the eve of October 31, the Russian drone "Lancet" attacked another object in the area of ​​Nikolaev, which was without casualties. Vladislav Nazarov explained that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation actively use UAVs, which are conducting intelligence and returning to the base, but "lancets" also dump explosives.

"Lancet-3" is a modification of the Russian drone "Kub-Bla" from Zala Aero (a subsidiary of Kalashnikov concern). This UAV flies 40 km, can be in the sky up to 1 hour. The cruising speed of the device is 110 km/h, and when dives on the target it accelerates to 300 km/h. The Russians equip the "lancet-3" with a warhead weighing 5 kg, which explodes during a collision with a target, as well as a fugas projectile discharged from the air.

The motor and the housing, reminiscent of a rocket with two X-shaped, provide high maneuverability, but quite low flight speed. The Russian media reports that Lancet-3 has navigation and communication systems located in the nasal. Thanks to the built -in video camera, the military can use drone for intelligence. The operator has three guidance systems: optical-electronic, coordinate and combined, so operators manually send "Kamikadze" or set target coordinates for autonomous damage.
