To cause Immobilization. A static target is always easier for artillery forces than a mobile one. Bonus if they are trying to recover damaged vehicles, which serve as baits.


Good point but - also since the video does not sure more - as it seems, there is neither a total destruction, which the exploding SAMs maybe have done nor an immobilization! Seems as if it was just a hit and the vehicle carried on.

the issue of Prigozhin's plane has allowed the bad news for the Russian Armed forces on the front lines to go unnoticed, not only are they losing control in Robotyne, but the GUR has managed to make effective raids into the Crimea



the morale of the Russians in the last few days has been going down at an accelerated rate, while the Ukrainians are becoming more and more daring and effective in their operations

FPV drone hit on a Leopard. However I don't give frontal hits much of a chance in succeeding.

It's why the video is called Lancet ''strike'' and not lancet ''destroy''

In any future conflict, these kind of loitering/mini cruise missile ammunitions will need to be put into the equation. Even if vehicules are not utterly destroyed, busted subsystem will make a long conflict weight a lot on logistic to repair them. You cannot repair the radar of a BUK on site with some wires or just soldering new optics on a MBT like a steel plate.

All these little drone strike from both side and bigger one like lancet are probably creating giant repair yards of damaged vehicules waiting for parts.

I would believe this if you could beat Tam in terms of showing more posts of destroyed Russian equipment than he shows nearly everyday of destroyed Ukrainian equipment.

Wagner's a mercenary company, so most of its core regulars are going to be ex-VDV and Spetznaz. They had generally more combat experience than the average grunt, due to service in Syria and Libya. Not to mention operationally, unlike the rigid Russian command structure, Wagner operated on a more decentralized command structure which offered flexibility. So yes, I do believe they are the most combat effective detatchment in the Russian army.

But this only speaks to the state of the Russian army that their best detachment had to expend all its combat power in as well as thousands of disposable convicts to conquer a minor city like Bakhmut, after which they had to pull back due to degradation and Russia i nowhere closer to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
So ex-VDV and Spetznaz are better than the actual VDV/Spetznaz? How does that work? How do convicts freshly released from prison have more experience than contracted soldiers?

If experience is what matters the best soldiers are the members of LPR/DPR who've been holding off the Ukrainians alone for 8 years. Yet apparently we're lead to believe they are the worst.

Wagner is a PR stunt. They make cool videos. For some reason even western analysts have bought into their mythology.

Destruction by the Lancet drone of the Strela-10 air defense missile system of the army of Ukraine. Published footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet", in the air defense system 9K35 "Strela-10" of the Ukrainian army, Soviet-made. At the moment of the attack, the air defense system was active and fired at the second Russian drone that was monitoring.
