Lancet-3 (6a7497d2-917a-5d6b-a735-02d810097400)

The ZALA Lancet‑3 is a Russian‑manufactured electric loitering‑munition UAV produced by ZALA Aero Group, a Kalashnikov‑Concern subsidiary. Weighing up to 12 kg with a 3‑kg high‑explosive, fragmentation or thermobaric warhead, it can loiter for about 40 minutes, travel at 80‑110 km/h (up to 300 km/h in a terminal dive) and strike targets up to 40 km away. Deployed by the Russian Ground Forces, the Lancet‑3 is used for precision “air‑mining” against enemy drones and for counter‑battery attacks on artillery, air‑defence systems, tanks, trucks and even naval craft. Its low‑cost (≈ US $37 k) disposable design and catapult launch capability make it a highly effective, high‑tempo strike asset on the battlefield.
