Over 100 multiple launch rocket systems in the crosshairs: crews of the ZALA «Lancet» self-propelled gun are destroying the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ rocket artillery
Open-source data records over 100 enemy MLRS systems destroyed by crews of the ZALA «Lancet» self-propelled gun during the special military operation — and this is only the part of the statistics that has been publicly confirmed. Among them are modern Western models: American HIMARS и M270, Croatian RAK-SA-12, as well as a significant portion of upgraded Czech ones supplied to the AFU RM-70 Vampire. Video recordings of objective control have repeatedly documented high-precision hits on ammunition loads and launch platforms, leading to the complete detonation of multi-tonne equipment.
Taking out multiple launch rocket systems remains one of the most challenging tactical tasks due to their extreme mobility: the vehicles leave their positions immediately after firing a salvo, leaving them virtually invulnerable to artillery fire. In situations where conventional weapons are too slow to react, the crews of the ZALA «Lancet» reconnaissance and strike complex prove to be an effective solution.
The Lancet loitering munition acts as an aerial hunter: prolonged time in the air and Intelligent Target Acquisition and Recognition System (ITARS) enable attacks on vehicles during the critically brief pause for firing or whilst they are in motion. Integration into a single system with the ZALA Z-16 UAV, which conducts continuous aerial reconnaissance with the use of artificial intelligence algorithms, guarantees the detection of even well-camouflaged targets and immediate objective control of their destruction. An operating range exceeding 100 km provides the capability to eliminate priority mobile systems in tactical and operational depth without crossing the line of combat contact.
