Russian Military unveils new version of 'Lancet' loitering munition amid conflict in Ukraine – the cost-effective alternatives to cruise missiles– while it uses Iranian drone supplies on the frontlines.
Military expert Yuri Lyamin provides insights into the plans to organize the production of Lancet drones in foreign countries. This move is seen in the context of Russia's acquisition and development of significant capacities for assembling Iranian Shahed drones within its own borders.
“Therefore, all of them are equipped with low-noise electric motors, small cameras for precise guidance at the finish line of the flight, and carry a warhead weighing up to several kilograms,” says Lyamin. “In turn, the Shahed-131 and -136 were developed in Iran for massive strikes against targets deep in the rear,” the expert says.
