The radius of target destruction by the impact drone "Lancet"

The Kalashnikov Concern announces the creation of the first in Russia patrolling UAV, the kamikaze. This is the drone "Lancet", which is exhibited at the international forum "Army-2019".

Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov told reporters about the functionality of this drone. According to Chemezov, ZALA Lancet is an intelligent system with a wide range of capabilities. The system includes such elements as communications, reconnaissance, navigation, while complementing all this with percussion functions.

From the message of Sergey Chemezov:

Under the conditions of new combat operations, he is able to strike in the air, on land, and water without creating a land or maritime infrastructure. In terms of efficiency, this system is superior to standard types of weapons, but it costs disproportionately less.

The drone “Lancet” in comparison with the version of the drone “Cube” has a television channel of guidance, the payload mass is also increased. So, its maximum take-off weight is 12 kg. The drone is capable of attacking targets that are, for example, behind defenses. A UAV is capable of hitting targets within a radius of 40 kilometers.

The concern notes that the new drone has a large export potential. Tests "Lancet" has been completed.

[Thrifty]

As always, they don’t have it themselves, but are they ready to deliver it in a foreign land? ?? It would be better for yourself first at least a couple of hundred to do a start! And, how many explosives are there, for with such a weight against armored targets it will be ineffective.

[Mountain shooter]

This drone is more against pinpoint targets - "man-car" ... Against a tank, too small, IMHO. Only the "barmaley" rarely have tanks, but bonfires and tents are a completely different matter ...

[YOUR]

A 30 mm cannon easily pierces a tank into the upper projection or into the engine or tower from behind, why can't this drone do the same?

[LAWNER]

Or blow up a tanker, and tanks without fuel, iron .. And saboteurs do not need direct visibility for an ambush ... There are a lot of options for purposes ..

[okko077]

If this hovering projectile is much more expensive than the MSTA or Coalition projectile, then why is it needed ... In addition, it is controlled, it is also a control point .... As I understand it, it is used for an already discovered target, preliminary reconnaissance is needed ... What will happen if there is no goal? In my opinion, these ammunition cannot be called UAVs .... Another toy, or rather a trinket of idiots? .. Advanced stupidity? ...

Do you propose to destroy and deploy one self-propelled gun division for the destruction of one of two targets? And then what turns out to be more expensive? )))
Remember how Dudaev was destroyed ... by a missile launched from an aircraft and induced by radio emission. I don’t know how much such a crash costs, but it’s certainly several times more expensive than such a drone.

[okko077]

And what, during the conduct of hostilities, the crew or the battery cannot stand in position? If the radius is enough to fire, received confirmation of defeat, changed position ... For sabotage in the deep rear, this "misunderstanding" has a very funny radius, but its control does not unfold? This is a car ... And a one-time drone, all equipment on board, including a battery, a TV camera, an engine ... irrevocably ...

the cannon shell has high speed - when meeting with armor more than 2500 km / h. Does the drone fly at this speed? It is made of durable alloy, so as not to crumble when hit in the tank? No. Comparison with armor-piercing kinetic projectile is incorrect.

He can hit armored vehicles only in one case - when installing a cumulative warhead on it.

From the upper hemisphere, a 3 kilogram cumulative charge may well provide for the defeat of both the tank and self-propelled guns. The cost of the complex is interesting. The positions of the most common enemy artillery weapons will be located in the area of ​​the drone’s destruction.

The tendencies of modern local conflicts show the sufficient relevance of this development. I think the "thing" is interesting. I am sure that it will improve in the future.

[alexmach]

12 kg of combat load, quite a decent cumulative ammunition, especially as already said diving from above.

[Fregate]

No, 12 kg is the total weight, and the payload is 3 kg. This is to become Lancet 3. And there is also Lancet-1 5kg weight at 1kg payload.

[alexmach]

Yes, I "read it". In any case, 3 kg as they write below is comparable in weight to a grenade for an RPG-7. The only thing that there would probably also be a fragmentation action would not hurt ...

Another thing is that 40 minutes flight duration is somehow not enough at all.

[Fregate]

Yes, 40 minutes is not enough. And warheads, I think there can be different cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation, and maybe even thermobaric.

[okko077]

This is an example of stupidity in our army ... Army theorists have no idea about modern war, they do not know how to fight, do not know what is needed for this and do not formulate requirements for models of military equipment and combat systems, for their unification and tasks .. There is no comprehensive, verified, thoughtful approach. That is why the industry is often engaged in all sorts of nonsense, and the stupid military then come up with how to apply this "creativity" ... The performers laugh until it comes to the point, and then it turns out that there is nothing except a machine gun, a grenade and binoculars .... like somewhere there is everything, but nothing to help win and survive, and the interaction is worked out on blood and already on the battlefield ... NOT FUNNY ...

A pair of kg of explosive cumulative charge is more than enough to destroy any existing tank from above.

[The popuas]

Adherents of the export of the latest developments will peck yourself with naked ...

[Civil]

It seems that Israel has such, the Indians bought it.

[Altai72]

What the Indians bought is HAROP, Azerbaijan was also purchased by them.

[Aaron Zawi]

Promising technique.

[AU Ivanov.]

What is bad about this export. Tea is not supplied by raw materials, but by high-tech products.

[APASUS]

Quote: Thrifty

how many explosives are there, for with such a weight against armored targets it will be ineffective.

The shot for the RPG PG-7VR "Resume" weighs 4,5 kg, penetrates up to 700 mm. If such a charge can be placed in a given UAV-kamikaze kit, then it is not yet known which tank will withstand if it hits the upper projection.

[aszzz888]

I believe, and such a theft will fit in the household. Flies to itself, flies ... and then clap, and there is no one, or something.

[The popuas]

As a new product comes out, so .... The concern notes that the new drone has great export potential .... flies for forty kilometers, so it would not hurt to place the TTX of foreign analogues in the article to place so that the minusers think a bit.

[LAWNER]

See for yourself ... For example, Israeli Green Drakon ... Similar characteristics ... And Israel can do drones.

[The popuas]

And besides the green dragon !? Again the noise immunity of this munition !? The baboons are already launching their homemade products 30 km away, and then 40 ... not far from the barmalei. Again, fight with the poits

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Popuas

Babakhs launch their homemade products at 30 km

crafts of barmaley have little in common with the discussed kamikaze drones (only the purpose is to remotely strike). Crafts cannot barrage, cannot aim at a target - they fly stupidly along GPS signals, at points, when they reach a pre-programmed coordinate, they dive. And that’s all. The equipment is primitive, there are no cameras, the combat load is also a couple of kilos. There remains weight for either fuel or battery - that’s the range.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: LAWNER

Similar TTX

Sky Striker can stay in the air for 2 hours - this is against 30-40 minutes at Lancet. In addition, the Israeli drone is reusable. It can be returned to the base and reused (if the target’s attack failed for some reason)

[LAWNER]

This drone is three times larger .. 36 kg versus 12 ... And returning a Kamikaze drone in combat conditions is at least dangerous. You can afford to inflate a pillow or wait for it to go down by parachute, having tremendous military superiority or in exercises with ballast.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: LAWNER

And returning a Kamikaze drone in combat conditions is at least dangerous

We are always thinking in terms of a great war.
Try differently.
You need to eliminate, for example, a terrorist field commander. Intelligence reports that it will have to move in such and such a car at such and such a time there and then. Launch the drone, it loiters in the area. If the intelligence is correct, the object is being destroyed, but what if the intelligence has "missed out" or the "client" himself has refused to travel? We'll have to beat the drone in vain

[xax]

I tried to imagine how Mikhail Timofeevich painted the advantages of his AK-47 to the head of the GAU:
"And yet, this machine has a great export potential!"
Surrealism is complete.

I will allow myself to cite an excerpt from the memoirs of the man who created what this corporation is now turning into profits:

I read the headlines of our newspapers: "Where did the Kalashnikovs come from ?," Do you need a weapon? No problem ... ”,“ The 16-year-old arms seller was detained ”,“ How much is the machine gun now? ” I read and reflect: maybe I already live on some other planet ...?
...
Even in recent times, our press actively stigmatized, nailed to the shameful pillar of merchants and the arms trade in Western countries.
...
However, my whole life, all my many years of design activity convinces: the best place to store and save military weapons is in the troops, under reliable guard and protection in army warehouses and in company pyramids. And let them be armed only with guards and border guards, and units that perform combat missions in peacetime to protect state and military property and the state border of the USSR. Let it serve the purpose of enhancing the combat skills of our soldiers at the training grounds. All other weapons should be hidden away from human eyes and hands and removed from arsenals only in case of war.

[gorunov]

Well, that joined in this race. Better late than never. It is necessary to focus on the ratio of low cost / efficiency.

[Hiwan]

It’s cheaper than standard ammunition. I wonder why?

[The popuas]

I think it means here that you do not need to raise the spinner into the sky don’t need her to hang at the target holding her in the sight, thereby substituting under fire from the ground! but it’s not Mr. Chemezov who does it, so he mumbles about the export potential

[okko077]

The top of 40 km is not sent ...

[The popuas]

There’s no top, but there’s a very little turntable in the desert, there’s enough video on YouTube when it hangs and holds in the sight of a “mobile,” of baboons, while the rocket goes at them

[himRa]

Quote: Haiwan

probably the shell needs a gun, a mine - a mortar ... + the accuracy is incommensurably higher where you need a salvo enough one ,, kamikaze ,, ...
pysy: about nickname - self-critical

[Roma 1977]

Due to the criterion "one target - one projectile". And not a wagon of rockets for MLRS to suppress a point target. And not a jet attack aircraft with a pilot chasing every donkey in the desert.

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Haiwan

It’s cheaper than standard ammunition. I wonder why?

here it is not only about the ammunition itself, but also the means of its delivery - a helicopter, a cannon, MLRS, etc.

[okko077]

The tool shot and left and will still shoot ... I am amazed that a control machine with equipment and an operator is coming to this dronk .... and you need to carry it .... This dronk needs preliminary reconnaissance, which means the coordinates of the target are known, and you can a projectile .. He needs time to reach the target, and first to get the machine into the area of ​​use ... Dronik explodes with all the equipment ... What is its benefit? It must be considered .... Very dubious effectiveness ....

[rocket757]

Like in science fiction films! Okay, let it be, although this whole topic is dumb, like me! it would be better if it remained like a fantasy! But oh and alas.

[uav80]

For a barracking range, and especially the flight time is too small ...

[Zaurbek]

Why not continue the line: Lancet-5 and Lancet-10?

[Amateur]

Crazy hands. Inspired by ...

[Strashila]

If based on the RPG-7 shots:
PG-7VL Luch / 7P16 ... 2,6 kg cumulative ... penetration 500 mm
PG-7VR "Summary" / 7P28 ... 4,5 kg tandem ... DZ + 650 mm
TBG-7V “Tanin” / 7P33 [... 4,5 kg thermobaric ... radius of destruction of manpower: 10 m
That turns out to be a serious argument.

[The popuas]

Why in the video, they beat tractor tractor or pickup truck without anything in the back why didn’t they hit the wedding

[Feofun]

In my opinion, because these are frames of tests for typical goals.

[The popuas]

Challenges !? Where are the test results !? And a tractor with a bucket is a typical target !? I can also smash my quadrocopter on a tractor

[Altai72]

Well, the wings, well, and the tail ... The hunter's dream with a shotgun is straight))

[Feofun]

Well, yes, because all hunters just dream of shooting at the crap stuffed with several kg of explosives and diving at them ...

[Lapunevsky]

The speed of his fall on the "hunter" is such that he will not even have time to shoot or even see.

[Feofun]

Well, you bent it. This UAV has a top speed of 110km / h. This is not a supersonic KR, but a barrage droning with a propeller.

[Lapunevsky]

When the operator marks the target on the ground and decides to attack it, this locking one turns into a dive with constant acceleration.

[Feofun]

Passage "diving with constant acceleration" does not cancel aerodynamics. So the propeller engine, which accelerates the UAV in horizontal flight to the speed of a car on the highway, will not have time to see it either - these are two mutually exclusive things.

[Lapunevsky]

You should look at the speed of hitting targets.

[Feofun]

Speed ​​as speed, in the region of 200km / h, in the limit. As with all other UAVs of this type. What did you want to hit me with ?!

[Lapunevsky]

I have nothing with you. I’m talking about what was originally - standing in the middle of a clearing and trying to destroy the projectile falling from you with a shotgun at a speed of more than 200 km / hour 12 kg.

[Feofun]

So I did not argue with this, and he was the first to say about it. But just why attribute such fantastic performance characteristics to a UAV with a propeller and an orthogonal wing, from the series "will not have time to see" ?! And to hear and see - everything will have time. Another thing is that this will not help much, but simply, let's not break away from reality.

[yfast]

But all successful applications can be laid out in YouTube. Unsuccessful - do not spread.

[Lapunevsky]

And now in the Donbass them in large quantities, in the DNI and LC. so that the APU and the natsbats would not rest during the night, expecting punishment from heaven.

[Feofun]

The drone is interesting. But I caught myself thinking that there is no information on the type of launch and the proposed platforms. I hope it will start as Hero-400, without the need for bulky launchers on a truck, as is the case with Harop.

[Lapunevsky]

Here the video shows how it will run.

[Feofun]

Unexpectedly, there is no Lancet UAV in the video.

[Lapunevsky]

What is the difference? They are the same in appearance. And the launch system is the same.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

First of all, I ask myself the question: what kind of troops do you need this product for? For motorized riflemen, both past and current wars show that for infantry, weapons are more effective for hitting the enemy at a distance of up to 400 meters, moreover, it must be compact, protected from external damage during delivery to a position and when moving during a battle. Previously, they said about the infantry: running across the field mad, hung with all kinds of garbage))) Now, if you equip the infantry with this drone, then we will hear: he is running across the field frantic, hung with drones))) ... - it is generally pointless, scouts-saboteurs - arguably, artillerymen - they have more effective means of destruction at such distances. So who needs such a "toy" ??? But for the partisans - this is the very thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see the need for mass production of this drone for the RF Armed Forces, maybe these drones will be useful for other special services, but for the army they certainly won't.

[Lapunevsky]

For special forces such as in Syria. Launched, found the target - they spied on it from above. And now they are putting aviation on every pickup and machine gun point. It is long and expensive.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

Spetsnaz legs "feed"))) I imagine a group of specialists carrying this drone in a mountainous, wooded or desert area .... For a movie about special forces, it's cool, about life - it's unnecessary ballast, for which, in case of loss or damage, they will also subtract 10 times the amount ... Spirits move in columns or caravans, and one and a half kilos of explosives, perhaps for one "camel", and the spirits are not fools, will quickly learn to deal with this danger. And the specialists have enough opportunities to destroy a single target on their own ...

[Lapunevsky]

I think those who created this drone-kamikaze know his purpose and usefulness better than us. If you are sitting deep in a trench, inspecting a sector through the optics, you cannot reach the sniper and the RPG. The mortar of the special forces does not carry with itself, and it also requires zeroing, reducing the fact of surprise to zero. But this drone and the trench with an observer will detect and dive vertically at it, destroying at times.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

I think those who created the drone viewed their product from a commercial point of view (that's why they began to "advertise" it for foreign buyers, not our Defense Ministry), and not from the point of view of real combat use by modern armies. For use against a well-equipped defense area, not a kamikaze drone is needed, but artillery ... By the way, about the low price (it is not announced) - good is not cheap. And in the trenches there are more than one person, even in a platoon of about three dozen people ... what is a drone for each ???

[Prutkov]

There is another use case. These drones can be installed on our boats. And then on the RTOs are large and expensive missiles "Caliber", "Onyx", etc. For work on the coast, supporting your infantry on land will be more efficient and cheaper. And then, the artillery systems that are installed on the MRK are more suitable for self-defense than for firing at remote small objects.

[Volk62]

You look at all sorts of exhibitions, and news and pride take - which is not what you have, you look in the army and you take a dumb - yes there is nothing
