Ukraine identifies new Russian gasoline-powered drone resembling Lancet
Ukrainian defense advisers have identified a new Russian loitering drone powered by a gasoline engine that resembles the existing Lancet munition.
Engine difference noted
The aircraft features a combustion engine instead of the electric motor found on the standard Lancet. This propulsion system change distinguishes it from previously known Russian unmanned weapons. Photographs show red stars painted on the wings of the unfamiliar aircraft.
Details withheld for now
Serhii Beskrestnov, an adviser to President Zelenskyy, stated that specifications have emerged but remain unconfirmed. He declined to release full details until captured examples are studied by specialists. The name and manufacturer of the device have not yet been publicly announced.
