Ukrainian specialists have disassembled a previously captured Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. Activist Roman Kashchuk published photos of the drone's insides.

Here's What We Know

The hovering munition is equipped with American components. In particular, an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 single-board computer and a Xilinx Zynq chip. Note that Xilinx Adaptive, a developer and manufacturer of integrated circuits, is owned by US processor giant AMD.

Also seen in the photos the chip is developed by South Korean company SK Hynix. Many of the components used in the Russian company ZALA's barraging ammunition lack markings.

The Lancet was seized by the Ukrainian military after it failed to trigger and fell to the ground. Disassembly revealed that the kamikaze drone was equipped with a K3-6 shaped charge and an additional plastid charge located in the tail section.
