The Lancet loitering munition has become one of the most efficient and effective weapons deployed by Russia in the Ukrainian conflict.

Leopard 2 main battle tanks, CAESAR self-propelled howitzers and even IRIS-T SLM air defense systems – none of them have proven to be a match for Russia’s sophisticated and deadly Lancet loitering munition.

This kamikaze drone turned out to be an effective tool for taking out just about anything Kiev and its allies throw at Russia’s forces.

The drone’s track record includes hitting German Leopard 2A6 tanks, French CAESAR wheeled self-propelled guns, Ukrainian patrol boats, MiG-29 and Su-25 aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force and even the latest IRIS-T SLM air defense system worth €140 million.

Its use in the fall of 2022 helped to significantly reduce the level of Ukrainian shelling on Donetsk.
