ZALA's Lancet-E will be showcased for the first time at an exhibition in Africa.

The Lancet-E reconnaissance and strike system (RSS) will be demonstrated for the first time on the African continent. It will be presented at the Rosoboronexport stand at the largest international arms exhibition, EDEX 2025, which opens on Monday, December 1, in Cairo.

Rosoboronexport's booth will feature an export model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from the Lancet system, which has already been tested in real combat conditions during the Second World War. This is the Izdeliye 52E loitering munition.

New export version of the Lancet-E RUK« has received a number of significant improvements. The key innovation is the machine vision algorithms on board the Z-16E, which automatically detect, identify, and track targets in real time. The flight time of the updated reconnaissance UAV has been increased to 3.5 hours, and the modernized data transmission platform ensures stable communication at a distance of up to 50 km. Loitering munitions have also been significantly improved: • "Product 51E" has received an increased flight endurance of 50 minutes and an operational range of up to 45 km; • "Product 52E" can now stay in the air for up to 30 minutes and is operational at a distance of up to 35 km.

The effectiveness of the modernized complex has already received high marks from international experts. As noted by a columnist for the American publication The National Interest Peter Suciu, the new upgrades have significantly enhanced the Lancet's combat capabilities. At the same time, their relatively low cost makes this weapon a dangerous tool capable of enhancing effectiveness on the modern battlefield.
