Camouflage net saves Т-72 from the Lancet kamikaze drones

A camouflage net over a Ukrainian ?-72 tank saved it from Russian Lancet loitering munition. A video of the consequences of the unsuccessful attack on the tank by Russian invaders was published on the Ukraine Weapons Tracker Twitter page. It is reported that the ?-72 of the Ukrainian military was attacked by two Russian loitering munition.

The video footage captured the wreckage of one Lancet, which as a result of the attack having caught on the camouflage grid or tree branches, fell into two parts and failed to detonate leaving the Ukrainian ?-72 unscathed.

#Ukraine: A rare look at a failed Russian attack on an ?? T-72 tank by two Lancet loitering munitions- both drones apparently caught on the trees, failing to detonate. It is worth mentioning that though the tank was covered by a camo net it was still found by the drone operator. pic.twitter.com/hhC0eN5jh9

However, the observers who monitor the Ruso-Ukrainian war, noted that although the tank was covert with a camouflage net, the operator of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone was able to find the tank and tried to strike it. The Russian Lancet (ZALA Lancet - ed.) drone can be used for both reconnaissance and strike missions.

It is launched via catapult launcher and powered by an electric motor.
