Western means of air defense do not always help the APU to defend itself from attacks from the air. Often they themselves become the objects of blows. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation demonstrated footage of the destruction of the British-made Stormer HVM anti-aircraft missile system by high-precision barrage ammunition.
First, UAV calculations operating in the Donetsk direction detected a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile system. Then the air defense system was hit by the Lancet barrage ammunition.
The UAV calculations carried out control and fixation of the hit of the barrage ammunition into the anti-aircraft missile system. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, barrage ammunition makes it possible to quickly and efficiently destroy military equipment of Ukrainian formations. Thus, tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery installations, artillery pieces and anti-aircraft missile systems are hit by the blows of barrage ammunition.
Recall that the ZALA Lancet barrage ammunition, also known as the Lancet UAV, has been manufactured since 2019 by a Russian company belonging to the Kalashnikov concern. It is designed to hit targets on the front line and in the rear of the enemy, primarily for the destruction of ground military equipment and weapons. Now Russian troops are actively using such drones in the zone of a special military operation.
