These UAVs are very effective on the battlefield, because they hit targets quickly and accurately, causing destruction to equipment or eliminating the personnel of an armed formation. At the same time, drones are relatively cheap, because one such drone costs $35,000. The Russian military-industrial complex has created a powerful weapon. Yuriy Sak, adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, stated this in an interview with The Telegraph.
Our intelligence says that they have begun to invest more money in the production of these drones. Anything that could damage our weapons or pose a threat to our troops is of concern to us. We will not praise the Russians, but this is a good weapon,” he said.
According to Sak, the Ukrainian army is already looking for ways to counter such drones. However, even now, the Lancet can now successfully counteract the Gepard anti-aircraft installation, since it has an excellent radar, good speed and mobility.
The Australian Hawkei would also be useful to the Ukrainian army, but the Australian government is in no hurry to provide them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The adviser to the Minister of Defense called on Ukraine’s allies to transfer more electronic warfare equipment to the Defense Forces.
Earlier it was reported that during the Russian-Ukrainian war, the occupying troops began to massively use the tactics of using Zala Lancet loitering drones to destroy important objects in the Ukrainian rear at a depth of up to 40 km. Now the Ukrainian military is restoring the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft systems that hit the Russian Lancets.
