Russian drone takes out Ukrainian jet

Footage has been released of a newly deployed Russian Lancet drone making a direct hit on a grounded Ukrainian Su-25 fighter jet. Russian war correspondent Andrey Rudenko shared the footage on Telegram, adding that the strike took place at Dolgintsevo airfield, near the city of Krivoy Rog. ’These images are notable for the fact that the Ukrainian fighter was destroyed by a new loitering ammunition with a range of up to 120 kilometers,’ said Rudenko. The Lancet’s developer, Zala Aero, recently announced upgrades to the drones, which would enable longer-range strikes beyond ‘direct radio visibility.’
