Lancet-E complex for the first time in the Middle East

The Lancet-E system, the export analogue of the battle-tested ZALA reconnaissance and strike system, is being presented for the first time at the IDEX 2025 international exhibition of weapons and defence technologies. The Middle East's largest defence exhibition takes place from 17 to 21 February in Abu Dhabi.

The Lancet-E complex includes the Z-16-E short-range reconnaissance UAV and the Izdeliye 51-E and Izdeliye 52-E guided munition carriers. These special-purpose unmanned aerial systems have demonstrated their effectiveness against the most modern weapons of NATO countries in the zone of the Strategic Defence Forces.

"The Lancet-E is an effective tool against armoured vehicles and artillery operating at a considerable distance from the line of contact. The barrage munition has high flight characteristics, increased manoeuvrability and is provided with an interference-protected communication channel. The HD video camera and thermal imager of the Z-16-E unmanned aerial reconnaissance system provide precise guidance and objective control of the use of the "Product 51-E" and "Product 52-E".

An important advantage of the "Lancet-E" complex is its ability to resist REB means.
