Regular units with Lancets significantly increase the combat capabilities of artillery regiments and artillery brigades of the Russian army, Dmitry Kornev, editor of the Military Russia portal, told Izvestia.
This is how the expert commented on the news that new reconnaissance and strike units equipped with Lancet loitering munitions have been formed in the artillery regiments and brigades of the Russian Armed Forces.
They are already being deployed in the SVO zone - they are destroying enemy guns, self-propelled artillery units (SAU) and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).
Dmitry Kornev recalled that in terms of range and a number of combat properties, the Lancet occupies an intermediate position between artillery and operational-tactical missile systems of the ground forces.
"Loitering munitions are good when used against artillery tactical missile systems and air defense systems. Depending on the modification, the range of the Lancets is up to 80 km. This allows them to reach and destroy enemy targets quite far in the rear. Counter-battery warfare is now one of the important components of combat. The defense of the Ukrainian forces largely depends on artillery. But the Lancet works well against armored vehicles, infantry concentrations, supply points, headquarters fortifications, air defense systems, and even against enemy UAV crews when drones are used. They destroy HIMARS and MLRS missile launchers well," he explained.
