The Russian military has successfully destroyed a Ukrainian Bukovel-AD anti-drone electronic warfare system with a Lancet loitering munition.
Video footage of the pinpoint strike surfaced online on May 5. The strike completely destroyed the system, which was reportedly deployed between the settlements of Kreminna and Svatove in the Luhansk region.
The developer of Bukovel-AD, Ukrainian defense firm Proximus, claims that the system can detect drones at up to 100 kilometer range, jam the data-link between the drone and its operators at 20 kilometers and block the signals of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou positioning systems.
Nevertheless, footage of the strike shows that the system failed to detect or jam the incoming Lancet loitering munition or the reconnaissance drone that was used to coordinate and document the strike.
The electronic warfare system was destroyed by an upgraded version of the Lancet, known as the Izdeliye-51. This version, which features extended wings, has an endurance of 40 minutes and is armed with a warhead weighing three kilograms.
The loitering munition, which was developed by Russia’s ZALA Aero Group, flies towards the designated area with a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system. After arriving in the area, the operator utilizes an onboard electro-optical system via a two-way data-link to detect, track and lock on the target. A laser-ranging system then controls the detonation of the warhead.
The Lancet has proven to be highly effective in suppression of enemy air defense, radar, communication and electronic warfare systems. According to Lostarmour.info, a website that tracks and documents military losses, Lancet loitering munitions have destroyed or damaged at least 47 such systems since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

Yeah baby I love those lancets, but I love even more watching Zionist enslaved Banderites getting roasted extra crispy.
Pekný zásah. Ruské vojská sa nenudia. Majú stále veľa práce. Prehnitý západ musí zásobovať Banderovských fašistov viac ako si myslel. Uvidíme kto to ako dlho vydrží.
So that anti drone system losing its virginity to 2 drones did not work out too well. Back to the design team.
Seems to be equipped with a drone magnet instead of a drone detector!
They accidentally switched the radar to ‘detect me/target me’ mode. 😂🤣
Well, you have to admit, it’s pretty effective.
If they keep pumping out those anti-drone platforms by the tens or maybe hundreds of thousands, sooner or later the Russians are going to run out of Lancets to kill them with.
bidet he is together with his child rapist shitbag son!oh vladplease send them akinzahlsoon please!itshightime to eradicatezelensky.the war would cease overnight!
Oh dear now that’s called a successful anti-drone radar vehicle drone attack. That system must have been designed by a US MIC corporation because it failed miserably at defeating a drone attack on itself LOL How embarrassment😂
Ukrainian firm Proximus is just another Ukrainian scam, pocketing US military $$ for defective garbage. Ukrainians are in a race to steal everything they can from their country before their greed has finally killed it.
they are a bunch of necrosthey would rather steal from the deadcosthey arecoursgous whenarearelike theidf.steal and beatwhen the enemy are defenslesskids
They forgot to turn the thing on :D :D :D
I hope to see these beautiful, angry birds of freedom one day feeding on the khaZar carrion in apartheid, occupied Palestine.
