In Video: Improved Lancet Loitering Munition Takes Out Artillery Piece In Ukraine

Lancet-3, screen grab from a report by Russia-24.

The improved version of the Russian Lancet loitering munition has been spotted in action in Ukraine for the very first time.

The version in question, which remains without an official designation, is built around the Lancet-3. It features a more aerodynamic design with extended X-shaped wings. This version has a longer range and endurance than the original Lancet-3, which has a range of 40 kilometers and an endurance of up to 40 minutes only.

On July 22, Russian sources shared a video showing the improved Lancet-3 targeting a Ukrainian military truck that was towing an unidentified artillery gun. The loitering munition scored a direct hit. The truck, which was likely carrying ammunition, exploded along with the gun.

The Lancet, which was developed by the ZALA Aero Group, is equipped with an elector-optical system that allows it to detect, track and lock on static and moving targets. The loitering munition is armed with a warhead that weights three kilograms.

The Russian military has been using the Lancet and other types of loitering munitions against Kiev forces since the beginning of its special operation in Ukraine.

Within a few years, Russia became one of the main developers of loitering munitions in the world. The Russian military is currently working to integrate loitering munitions into its units. The success of these systems in Ukraine will likely speed up the process.

seems only truck is destroyed.

The truck & its occupants definitely took the brunt of it but I’m sure the concussion & shrapnel damaged the artillery enough to make it unusable. Still, I would have liked to have seen the drone strike a little more strategically placed. Practice makes perfect!

Il Lancet ha colpito la parte più calda del camion, cioè il motore. Le schegge possono aver danneggiato il pezzo, che comunque ha perso mobilità, come osserva Антон. E’ sempre un successo. Saluti amico…

MrX

Perfect hit imo. and much better choice to attack the truck with crew and ammo. Gun can be destroyed later with another drone, ideally when they come to retrieve it. Or it can be captured.

Truck with gun crew. The gun has lost mobility, now it’s easier to hit it with artillery.

Disinfo

Why waste another shot, it could be an important example of western technology.

Антон

That’s another good question. A tree on its way may be. Or there was one more drone. Of course it’s better to hit the gun, it’s obvious and the operator knew it for sure.

globetrotter

The gun is broken as well. Shrapnel has made it unusable.

Vanya

It was a good kill. The trained crew and ammo were eliminated.

...

can’t you really see the f*cking gun 5 meters north of the truck or you just trolling? sure it’s wrecked

Joseph Day

Ok you go get that cannon then, go on I dare you lol

globetrotter

This type of drone is using a HE FRAG warhead and a proximity fuse. It will explode over the target and penetrate everything with shrapnel. Even without secondary explosions everybody in the killzone would be dead and every device unusable.

It’s very hard to do, because the gun is behind the front line.

Ukrainian forces are methodically destroying bridges in Kherson and wiping out the supply lines. While the Putin cockroaches are targeting artillery guns one at a time with suicide drones. How the mighty terrorist cockroaches have fallen.

Ukrainian forces are methodically destroying civilian infrastructure in their own country while methodically and systematically committing monstrous genocide against their own people.

Maidan murderers – the most sickening, bloodthirsty, bandit terrorist regime in the world (along from their masters in Washington). Zelensky&co are something between ISIS, Pol Pot and Hitler (but more gay than all of them). Only complete moronic inhuman pile of shit like you and similar filthy cockroaches support these psychos and despicable criminals.

Dear twisted kike cockroach, nobody takes anything you say seriously. You should consider taking your own life as a great favour to the world. P.S. The IDF are diaper wearing child murderers.

The lunatic freaks from the Southfront troll farm still think that anybody takes them seriously.

No one in the world takes you bat crazy moronic basement freak seriously, everyone just laughs at your endless idiocy. But at least you have 2 seconds of someone attention, the best moment of your sad lonely day, right bitch?

Now change your name and write how you love to lick buttholes and drink cum (90% of your comments here), it’s more true than any of your crap about ukraine hah!

My mother in Leningrad will keep all the goats very horny just for you.

Awesome! It left the hopefully foreign artillery almost intact so it can be examined by Russia munitions experts when that area is captured by the advancing troops. Hopefully, they can use the same technique to disable but not destroy a HIMARS for capture, though I’m reading they may have bought one from the Ukrainians already.

The Ukrainian brigade of the Kherson partisans, the so called “Kherson Brigade”, is almost ready to march with the Allied Forces in order to liberate the Hero City of Odessa.

You can see the gun is still there after the truck is gone. Hopefully they sent something to finish it off.

If you take a look closely, you will see that the position and the area of the destroyed vehicle is not the same as the one shown in the video just before the strike occurred. So this raises question.

Why can’t they just identify object, target, zoom in and strike – all in a single continuous recording and no body will ever doubt anything?

Stupido, it is exactly the SAME: they only rotated it for some 180°. No one wants to watch 30 minutes video of one truck burning down. So stop talking nonsense.

You must be really turned on. Keep talking dirty that it makes my nipples verry hard.

“The loitering munition scored a direct hit”…….. No it did not. Actually you can clearly see that they completely missed. Lancet flew over truck and hit the trees near by, exploded and woodland caught fire that spread to that truck. If was not for that trees Lancelot would continue to fly and hit ground. If you think I am wrong, slow down that video and see.

Forgot to add, Lancelot hit that tree canopy next to the truck and exploded above truck.

lol

Lancelot? 🤣🤣🤣

Cro

Yes very funny, I think it is more funny that they completely missed and if was not for that tree that “Lancelot” would explode somewhere in field and killed couple of cows.

Loki

You are very funny, tragi-comic even: blind, delusional, butthurt Ukro idiot. Yeah as we can see it completely missed and the truck is not damaged at all and completely functional. Just like your “brain”. Now that’s lol

Keep crying little bitch and stay butthurt.

First I am from Croatia, second, probably you and most of you never held gun in their hand, let alone to shoot from one. I was in 2 TWO armies. In Yugoslav army 1974-1976 (corporal) and in Croatian army 1991- 1996 during Yugoslav wars so it is more that you are little poof, not even bitch.

And I am pro Russian but just stating obvious not like most of masturbators that coming here.

...

“woodland caught fire that spread to that truck” whut? It clearly hits the cabin of the truck, you are completely wrong and delusional.

Cro

No it did not, it flew over truck and exploded in the tree canopy, you can clearly see that explosion is in the trees and spreading over and above the truck. If they hit cabin, explosion would be much lower and would spread from truck, over the field and there would be fire straight away. You can clearly see that truck is intact, not burning after explosion and truck caught fire from burning bush. Go and find some videos and see how explosion looks like wen direct hit with Javelin or other RPG-7.

...

rubbish. if it missed it they would run away. simple as that. comparing something entirely different hitting something entirely different what a great logic. also great perception, you even failed to remember the name. “You can clearly see that truck is intact” yes we can see it obviously.

Cro

How you know that Ukros did not run away. There is clearly smoke coming from the tree, not even fire and then video is cut and then shoving already burned truck. So what happened in between. You can clearly see how that “artillery piece” is so close to truck when towing, on that piece of video with burnt truck that artillery is quite far away so it looks like that Ukros trayed and succeeded to unhook Artillery and move away because I do not think that Lancet have that much power to blow that few tons heavy howitzer or cannon quite far from the truck.

Q

Not the drone itself (it’s only 3kg warhead I think) but ammo blast from the truck. This type of drone is using a HE FRAG warhead and a proximity fuse. It will explode over the target and penetrate everything with shrapnel. So no it didn’t miss it. Why would they left the truck if it wasn’t damaged and why they didn’t move the gun even further away if they did move it at all? Although I agree too many Russian videos are edited this way: they just cut off and switch to aftermath instead to show the most important part. And then people speculate and make various theories how they trying to hide something. I believe it’s just bad editing.

Ukros already left truck before explosion, you can clearly see them how they are running next to howitzer so with this “hit” no one Ukros died and howitzer is safe.

MrX

Confirmation bias or the tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions. In other words: everyone sees what they want to see. I see it hit the target and I see it destroyed the target. You see cows and Lancelot. To each his own I guess.

No War

You are both 50% right. If you look carefully, you can see 2 Ukrainians if not 3 running on the side of the truck toward the howitzer after the Lancet hit the tree and the truck at same time which caught fire immediately. Later on it’s obvious the survivors pulled away the howitzer a few meters away in an attempt to preserve it.

The munition hit a rock.
