The Russian Defense Ministry has shown footage of combat work by the unmanned aerial vehicle unit of the Airborne Forces of the Dnepr group of troops. The paratroopers are actively using Lancet loitering munitions to destroy enemy military equipment on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
“The crews of the large artillery unit of the Airborne Forces work in conditions of jamming created by electronic warfare stations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, perform flights to tactical depths for reconnaissance and search for targets, further adjust the fire of various types of weapons, record on video the damage caused by fire to targets, enemy personnel and equipment, and also carry out attacks on firing positions, military facilities and armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using information received from intelligence units,” the Russian Defense Ministry staff commented.
The “Lancets” are corrected by the “Zala” reconnaissance drones. They recognize targets from high altitude with a sensitive camera and a thermal imaging camera.
In the Russian Defense Ministry footage, the Zala complex detected the operation of an electronic warfare station and then a camouflaged self-propelled gun of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They were immediately destroyed by the Lancets.
The drone operator with the call sign “Zov” says that his subordinates have learned to distinguish military equipment from dummies.
– The enemy tries to divert their gaze with some rubbish, but their soul tells them that it is a live target. They do not have time to shoot down the Lancet. After the Lancet locks on to a target, the artificial intelligence is activated. It was mainly on the other side that we fell in love with the American M-777 howitzers. We love them very much, we look forward to them and we are amazed by them. We hit the artillery more, because it causes us more damage,” said the operator with the call sign “Call”.
