Ukrainian Armed Forces seize Russian drone kamikaze Izdeliye-52, known as Lancet

Russia's armed forces have long and often successfully used the Izdeliye-52 bomber munitions, better known as the Lancet. One such kamikaze drone was seized by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Here's What We Know

The hovering munition was discovered at one of the Ukrainian Defence Forces' positions. Probably for some reason the explosive failed to go off and the drone simply crashed.

The Ukrainian military decided to disassemble the Russian kamikaze drone and learned that it carried a standard K3-6 shaped charge. It is capable of penetrating a reinforced concrete wall up to 55 cm thick. There's a plastid with a detonator in the tail section.

The barraging munition exists in two versions: the Lancet-3 and the Lancet-1. The former can fly for 40-60 minutes, cover 40-70 km and reach a speed of up to 300 km. The take-off weight is up to 12 kg and weight of the warhead is 35-kg. "Lancet-1" has a range of 30 minutes, a payload of 1 kg and a range of 40 km.
