MOSCOW, October 30. Russian Lancet drones have become a serious threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with the YouTube channel Danny Haiphong.
“The Russians have flooded the Ukrainian theater of operations with drones. <…> ; And the new “Lancets” have an even greater range. <…> Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are unable to deliver anything to the front line,” noted the military man.
As stated by the chief designer of Zala Aero Group Alexander Zakharov, the new generation of loitering ammunition «Lancet» in the «Product-53» version will be virtually invulnerable to countermeasures.
According to him, these UAVs complicate the position of the Ukrainian troops, and Russia is increasing their production for use in the special operation zone.
In In August, the head of Vladimir Zelensky’s office, Andriy Ermak, admitted that the Lancet and Orlan drones create problems and pose a threat to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
