Iran unveils new attack drone similar to Russian Lancet
Kyiv • UNN
Iran has unveiled a new attack drone similar to the Russian Lancet used in the war in Ukraine.
The Iranian military has unveiled a new attack drone similar to the one used by Russia in the war in Ukraine. This was reported by DW, according to UNN .
Details
According to the state news agency Tasnim, the new drone, which has not yet been named, is similar to the Russian Lancet UAV, whose production began in 2020.
Iran claims to have made great progress in drone production in recent years.
Iranian Shahed drones have been used by Russian forces in air attacks in Ukraine. After Iran's recent air attack on Israel, the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada imposed new sanctions on Tehran targeting the production and export of drones.
Addendum
As reported by Defense Express, Russia is working to equip "Shaheds" with Chinese communication modules to turn these kamikaze drones into Lancet-type barrage munitions.
The director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, Oleksandr Ruvin, said earlier that the Russians had begun to supplement the Shahed's combat unit with shrapnel.
"The finished striking elements look like tungsten balls of the same diameter. The principle of operation is similar to shrapnel artillery shells. At the moment of detonation, the explosive part explodes, scattering small metal fragments (shrapnel) in different directions. Shrapnel scatters and damages objects in the area of impact. Such a cynical "modification" may indicate the enemy's desire to inflict more damage directly on people. The number of ready-made striking elements that the Russians use to equip the Shahed 136 is not enough to significantly destroy structures or buildings. However, such fragments can cause severe injuries to people directly. The balls cover a large area at the moment of departure and can hit any unprotected part of the body," noted Ruvin.
