Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" destroyed the Ukrainian P-18 mobile all-round radar

Russian troops continue to use drones-kamikaze to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure, as well as armored vehicles and various complexes. If in the first case apply Drones "Geranium", which have a long range, then loitering ammunition "Lancet" is actively operating in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe contact line.

Recently, the Russian military has increased the intensity of the use of kamikaze drones, which has borne fruit. Videos appeared on the Web about the destruction of American M777 howitzers, as well as various radar stations, including P-18 - mobile two-coordinate all-round radar.

According to the TG channel "Archangel of Spetsnaz", in the Kherson direction, a P-18 radar of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell under the attack of the "Lancet". The Ukrainian station was discovered by a Russian reconnaissance drone, after which loitering ammunition worked on it. It is worth noting that the radar station of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was not so far from the front line, since the range of the Lancets does not exceed 40 km and they work mainly in areas of enemy positions. The defeat of the station was recorded from another UAV that was filming.

The shown destruction of the P-18 radar station of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the Lancet is far from the first, around the middle of the month a similar station was also destroyed by a kamikaze drone, even an attempt to cover the radar station with smoke did not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian drone hit it in the stern, where the equipment of the antenna-mast devices.

The Russian military speaks well of the Lancet drones, but they ask to increase the mass of the charge, which is not always enough to destroy heavy armored vehicles. But the main request of the military is to supply the troops with as many drones as possible, both attack and reconnaissance. The importance of UAVs in modern warfare has been shown in the past months.

It remains to screw AI instead of the operator and welcome to the future

The eternal theme - what will happen if a person trusts to make decisions for him ...

"Guardian birds learned very quickly, their knowledge became richer, more diverse. Abstract concepts, at first barely outlined, expanded, the birds acted on their basis - and the concepts were again generalized and expanded.

Prevent murder...

Metal and electrons reason logically, but not like people.

Creature? Any living being? And the guard-birds began to guard all living things in the world.
...
High in the sky, the Hawk attacked a bird guard. An armored killer car learned a lot in a few days. She had one single purpose: to kill, Now it was directed against a very specific type of living creatures, metal, like the Hawk itself.

But just Hawk made a discovery: there are also other varieties of living things ...

They should be killed too. "

The "lancet" is a surgical instrument, it works accurately. It's nice that there are no complaints from the patients.

The task of AI is to quickly find a military facility in the picture from the UAV. and highlight it to the operator. Then the person will make a decision. By the way, there is experience in screwing almost any city camera to AI, all of Moscow issues fines for belts like that.

[Osmodey]

I meant it was the decision to be assigned to the AI ​​operator to remove as a class.

[petroglyph]

This will be a step into the "new future"... When a person cannot feel safe from AI decisions. So far, at a primitive level, AI is now attributed to everything, like "nano" and "3D". But the time is not far off when a person will be replaced in decision-making. Nothing good can come of this...

From glitches, no electronics is completely immune. Can and on their zhahnut.

[dmi.pris1]

It was rightly noted about the power of the charge. But it will be a different drone. And it is already heading to the troops.

Can you elaborate? Intrigued.

[dmi.pris1]

Yes, there is. The charge was increased by two kilograms. On the basic version, about three kilograms of explosives

[Orange Bigg]

So this is a new modification of the Lancet-3. But it seems to have already been in the troops. There are already applications for it. I thought they invented something new. It's a pity.

[sgrabik]

"Lancet-5", or "Lancet-M" - ???

And he's already on his way to the troops.

In the news for the month of July:

.... Lancet flight duration increased from 40 minutes to one hour. In addition, the mass of the warhead has grown from three to more than 5 kg ....

But, perhaps, not only modernized drones, but also previous releases get to the front.

[rotmistr60]

As they say in the bullseye. Another one less. Indeed, the importance of UAVs, both reconnaissance and strike, is clearly illustrated by videos.

[Nexcom]

Well done for destroying it.
So continue to lancet Svidomo to the fullest.

PS Indeed, why don’t they modernize the Lancet? They ask the same military warheads to increase. Or again there is no motor that will pull the increased mass? And with the current one, the loitering time will probably become even shorter ... An ambush if so ...

[Elephant]

You can also experiment with the BB itself. For example, white phosphorus roasts well

[Nexcom]

Yes, a lot of things are possible if there is the real desire to improve.

PS And isn't phosphorus banned by the Convention?

[lucul]

Indeed, why is the Lancet not being modernized? They ask the same military warheads to increase. Or again there is no motor that will pull the increased mass ?

So it is, no. It is the engine that sets the possibilities of technology.
We need a range of engines from 50cm³ to huge marine diesels. And we simply don’t have this line, and this is the merit of the West. Since they are now restricting the semiconductor industry in China, imposing all sorts of sanctions on it, they also did not allow motor building to develop back in the USSR and further in Russia.
And the liberals explain this external influence (by blocking development) to those (inspire us) that supposedly we don’t know how to do anything and, in general, our hands grow from the wrong place. )))

[Nexcom]

So it is necessary to consult with the Iranians and the Chinese on these issues - take and copy, such a motor does not need a resource - a one-time and one-way flight.

[Pulkovo1942]

Yesterday I saw footage where the Lancet destroyed (with a savory badaboom) a Buk-M1 in the Belozersky district of the Kherson region.
The shots with howitzers, radars and the aforementioned beech are archival, apparently. Lancets are now least needed in the Kherson direction.

[Elephant]

They are needed everywhere and more. Another would be to mobilize the military industry for the production of everything similar modern. But for now, something or someone is distracting our rulers to secondary tasks in conditions when there is a war, the end of which is not foreseen in the foreseeable future

[sgrabik]

This is for you, unfinished TsIPSOte, they are not needed, but we really need them, and the more the better !!!

[Pulkovo1942]

but they ask to increase the mass of the charge

Developers should take into account the global experience: hero-30, hero-120, hero-250, hero-400, hero-900...

[Coward]

At the P-18, they taught me at ROSTO as a radar operator. And on the tablet to write in a mirror way. It is necessary to look for where the crusts are preserved.

why do we need it? I have a VUS, and two years of experience in opera. Radar, and you "tabletists" had to be hit in the face after flights so as not to "hand over" to the leadership, the laziest and "sleeping" on flights, then in a hurry they will draw the usual lines with a pencil and that's all - they served "flights", only "ducks" for two years of service. and after the emergency, along their lines, the "pisyany bull", the crew were looking for hell, understand where. villains. didn't see a single one. next to me, an Armenian, Aivaz, was sitting on the "tower", six months younger than the call, he would hatch his balls into the "point" of the altimeter ... and at any second he would say the height of the requested "mark", at any ...! This is what I understand, he was really a "pro". but the "kid" is 18 years old, and the flights lasted a long time, and even at night. always just treated him with respect, not everyone can do that.

[Coward]

Here is your comment, it is not clear why. And where did you read that I am a tablet player? Or is it a "childish" trauma in you? The tablet clerk trampled your wife, so now, at every opportunity, you are trying to prove to yourself how cool you are.

[76rtbr]

Yes, don’t pay attention, I served in the BU in the radio company, the tablet players always left to “draw” after lights out, as you say, they trampled !!!!

and you, apparently, are from the tribe of "tabletists." I served in the Western Group of Forces in 1982. what "wife"? you have a mind like a tablet player.

[Lena Petrova]

The shelling sites of Donetsk need to be saturated with them as much as possible. To even lean out could not.

[Leader_Barmaleev]

How nice it is when the message is accompanied by objective control frames, when it is clear that the projectile / missile / drone hits the target, and does not fly somewhere in the direction of the enemy. Good luck and success to all our fighters!

[Osipov9391]

But what about Su-34 bombers and X-31 missiles for a million dollars a piece?
After all, it seemed that having such weapons and such aviation with the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be finished
very quickly.
But this turned out to be completely different - outdated sighting systems on these aircraft,
obsolete weapons, the inability to obtain accurate intelligence and more.
And the lack of planning bombs for them.

This means that it was necessary to start programs on UAVs a long time ago.
Mass programs, including strike drones, air defense breakthrough drones, strategic
reconnaissance drones and others.
But none of this was done.
The backlog is now huge even from Turkey in this area.
And from the USA for 25-30 years.

[sgrabik]

Vsepropalshchik, everyone knows this very well even without your whining, but it is much better to understand this and work systematically to eliminate these omissions than just to trynd about it but do nothing in order to correct the situation.

[stankow]

The X-31 BB has 110 kg. And completely different GOS ... Comparing it with the Lancet is like comparing the metro with the Gazelle

[Petr_Koldunov]

Well, at least add three to five more kilograms of payload to the warhead ... so that the Nazis know that if it flies, then this is guaranteed destruction, and not damage, which is sometimes eliminated even in the field.

[_Ugene_]

not enough charge in the lancet, they need to be sent in pairs

[Carlos Hall]

Drones "Lancet" and "Geran-2" are becoming one of the deadliest weapons in the Russian army.

[certero]

Now imagine if there were more long-range drones and ammunition. Which, according to all the documents and the story before the special operation, we were present in large numbers.
One thing is clear, manned aviation is over.

[wladimirjankov]

it’s too early to bury it. Modern and powerful electronic warfare equipment should be installed on specialized aircraft and UAVs accompanying attack aircraft to neutralize air defense radars and its missiles. Then she will not huddle to the ground and will show herself.

[Puzoter]

A good picture comes from the Lancet. Someone said that there is almost 320 by 240, and there, if not HD, then close.

[wladimirjankov]

It's impressive. Finally learned how to hit accurately. But of course, the charge must be increased in order to irretrievably destroy the target itself and what is next to it.

[certero]

Quote: wladimirjankov

Then she will not huddle to the ground and will show herself.

She has already shown herself. It's not that modern aircraft cannot suppress air defense, the fact is that modern aircraft are very sorry because they are insanely expensive
What would happen during the current war in the sixties? Correctly concentrate several hundred aircraft on the front and strike. Like the Israelis 150rd. Yes, they then lost XNUMX aircraft, but they completed the combat mission.
