The Lancet UAV, developed by ZALA, a company affiliated to the Kalashnikov Group, is capable of reconnaissance and attacking front-line targets. UAV models have a range of 40-70 kilometers and carry 3 kg or 5 kg warheads.
Launched in 2019, the Lancet series of UAVs are capable of independent operation without the support of ground or sea surface control systems. The modular design allows the manufacturer to equip the Lancet with multiple reconnaissance complexes, helping it self-detect and acquire targets.
After detecting a target, the Lancet can use the explosives carried on its body to rush up and destroy it. Sensors on the Lancet will record the rush to the target and transmit live images to the bridge to assess the effectiveness of the “suicide” attack.
