“Our intelligence reports that Russia has started to invest more in the production of these drones,” TASS was quoted as saying by him.
Sack added that this situation causes concern in Kiev, as well as the appearance in Russia of any other means that is capable of destroying equipment or putting soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at risk. “Let’s not praise the Russians, but this is a good weapon,” said the minister’s adviser on the Lancets.
According to the publication, it is now difficult for the Ukrainian military to protect Western equipment from relatively cheap and maneuverable Russian drones that can disable more expensive weapons.
Sak believes that Germany could help Ukraine solve this problem by delivering anti-aircraft self-propelled guns “Gepard”, equipped with good radars. Kiev is also seeking the supply of Hawkei vehicles from allies, in which modules of the NASAMS short- and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system can be installed, as well as electronic warfare equipment.
Earlier, the American publication 19FortyFive reported that the Russian loitering ammunition “Lancet” was recognized as one of the most dangerous for armored vehicles and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is observed that the frequency of its use in the first line has increased significantly in recent months.
