Lancet-3, screen grab from Russia-24 report.
The map of Ukraine has been fully digitized to train operators of Russian loitering munitions Izdeliye-51 and Izdeliye-52, a spokesperson of the developer of loitering munitions, the ZALA Aero Group, told RIA Novosti on November 12.
“In order to ensure the training of cadets as close as possible to combat conditions in our training center, a map of the entire territory of Ukraine was digitized. This allows our drone simulators, including the Izdeliye-51 and Izdeliye-52 loitering munitions, to simulate missions for operators on real terrain in the area of the special operation,” the spokesperson said.
The ZALA Aero Group is a subsidiary of Russia’s defense giant Kalashnikov Concern. The company has been developing drones and electronic warfare systems for several sectors of the Russian government, including the Ministry of Defense, since its foundation in 2003.
Until very recently, the Izdeliye-51 and Izdeliye-52 loitering munitions were known only by their former official name, the Lancet.

The Izdeliye-52 is the base version of the loitering munition, while the Izdeliye-51 is an improved version that features a more aerodynamic design with extended X-shaped wings. This version has an endurance of an hour and is armed with a warhead weighting five kilograms.
The loitering munition is equipped with an elector-optical system that allows it to detect, track and lock on static and moving targets. Its small radar cross-section and minimal infrared signature makes it nearly impossible to intercept.
The Russian military has been using the Izdeliye-51 and Izdeliye-52 loitering munitions against Kiev forces since the start of its special operation in Ukraine with much success.
In the last few weeks, the use of these munitions was significantly expanded, especially against high-value targets like armored vehicles, artillery, air defense systems and radar stations. As a result, Kiev forces sustained heavy human and material losses.
SF team, if you guys can’t stop those trolls remove the comment section for the site (for a few days) or find a way to deal with those kids. Those copy-paste comments lag the site, beside that you guys also have other problems with the comment section, like comments not showing up.
Best of luck.
it looks like Republicans will win both senate and house, so this is good news for Russia and bad news for the Ukronazis
and now just flood the right bank
@moderation: you should tune the lenght of the post to (for instance) 500 symbols.
and stop allowing copy+paste. At least for some days, until the troll moves on to another forum
OUT OF MEMORY ! a lot of pages on southfront are using a massive amount of memory. pagefile is 3-5 GM for one page
3-5 GB
You mean some idiot keeps dumping huge sabotage posts to jam up the comment section, which SF hasn’t figured out a simple algorithm to block yet.
