Russian forces have successfully destroyed Ukrainian military vehicles in the Kherson region using kamikaze drones known as “Lancet.” This development was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense through RIA Novosti.
The operation involved Russian paratroopers, who utilized reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect two tanks and a disguised self-propelled artillery installation on the right bank of the Dnieper River. These Ukrainian forces were firing from concealed positions.
In response, the Russian Ministry of Defense decided to employ kamikaze ammunition called “Lancet” to neutralize the targets. These projectiles were launched by unmanned units known as the “winged infantry.”
This incident follows a recent event where a Ukrainian strike hexacopter named “Baba Yaga” was shot down by a Russian drone near Artemivsk on December 9th. According to the Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian forces have been using agricultural drones to drop large-caliber mines.
The commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces previously acknowledged that Russia possesses an advantage in utilizing FPV drones.
This latest development highlights the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with the former employing advanced drone technology to gain an upper hand. The use of kamikaze drones demonstrates the evolving tactics employed by Russian forces in the region.
As tensions continue to escalate, it remains crucial for international observers to closely monitor the situation and assess the impact of such advancements in drone warfare. The destructive capabilities of these kamikaze drones pose a significant threat to Ukrainian forces, further highlighting the need for appropriate defensive measures.
The conflict in Ukraine has raged on for several years, with both sides accusing each other of aggression and violating international norms. As the world watches, it is essential for diplomatic efforts to intensify in order to find a peaceful resolution to this ongoing crisis.
