The Russian Ministry of Defense has released areal footage showing a kamikaze drone smashing into a Ukrainian Stormer short-range air defense vehicle and turning it into a ball of smoke and fire.

According to footage, the Russian armed forces took out a British-donated Stormer HVM air defense system using the Lancet-3 kamikaze drone.

The Stormer HVM (High Velocity Missile) is a 13-tonne missile launcher. It was developed primarily to counter the threat of attack helicopters and low-flying aircraft posed to armored formations.

The British Stormer can ‘see’ the enemy vehicles from 18 kilometers away and its missiles’ range of 1.5 – 5.5 km. It is equipped with Starstreak man-portable air defense missiles.

The Stormer has eight ready-to-fire rounds, 12 reloads, and a roof-mounted targeting package including an infrared sensor.

Ukraine’s military received the first batch of British-made Stormers in July 2022.
As to Lancet, it is a loitering munition, also known as a kamikaze drone, which is making a significant impact on the conflict by allowing Russian troops to attack Ukrainian high-tech and expensive weapon systems such as radars or long-range artillery.

The same fate is waiting for state of the art western tanks.

Lancet is similar to Iranian developed loitering kamikaze drone.

Iranian missile-358

In the hands of Yemenis, it played the role of a loitering airdefense missile

As always with many lancet strike videos, no aftermath

So - it has taken 9 months to "potentially" destroy just one ? .. lol .....

 

[Foinikas]

Did it even have any missiles ready?

No it took 9 months for retards of Ukraine to learn how to use and deploy it to the battlefield. Guess what, this happened right after deployment.

What do you think?

Good job Russia. Many more to come.

Video appears to show a Russian attack helicopter being split in half by a British high-tech missile fired by Ukrainian fighters

The Times of London reported that the UK sent a team of Starstreak missile operators to a secret location near Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces.

They deployed it within a month of the war

Wonder how many times Lancet hit Russian troops lol

problem with lancet is in the war head for shrapnel Russians with their infinite wisdom instead of using hard alloys , they decided to cut rebars to pieces . well those rebars are soft and don't have good penetration capabilities , also they are large and they can't put enough of them inside the drones

Heeee Hoooo

If they had deployed it one month after war then the conclusion would be that operators or at least the higher ranks controlling the mobile air defense system were of British origin.

These kind of mobile systems require months to train the crew since operating its radar along with fire control systems needs skilled crew. Ukrainians couldn't master it so fast, so either it was destroyed right after deployment operated by skillfull Ukrainian operators or was destroyed while being operated by British crew.
