The Russian military used a new version of the Lancet-3 kamikaze drones against militants in Syria
The Russian military used an upgraded version of the Lancet-3 kamikaze drones on the positions of terrorists in Syria. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a military-diplomatic source.
According to him, a new version of the barrage ammunition with updated aerodynamics was used on militants several times. The interlocutor of the agency clarified that the upgraded device now has one large X-shaped wing and an X-shaped tail.
As a result, the new kamikaze drones received an increased duration and range of flight. In addition, they are capable of carrying a warhead of increased power.

On the frames posted on the network, the Russian operator of barrage ammunition tells the details of the operation carried out in April 2020.
