An American HIMARS multiple-launch rocket launcher system of the Ukrainian armed forces near Kramatorsk in the Donetsk people's republic was detected by a ZALA Lancet reconnaissance and strike system. The operators of the barrage munition traced the route of the enemy equipment all the way to a camouflaged position in a forest belt near the village of Sergeyevka, after which they struck the target.
The video and coordinates of the position of the damaged HIMARS MLRS were transmitted in real time to the command by the ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance system, after which a decision was made to use the Iskander MLRS against the target. The ZALA Z-16 objective control footage recorded an accurate hit and detonation of the HIMARS MLRS ammunition. The target was destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AFU has repeatedly used HIMARS MLRSs to attack civilian targets in territories located in Kursk and Belgorod regions. The firing range of the American rocket system allows the enemy to strike at a considerable distance from the line of contact, which increases the priority of this target for the Russian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ZALA specialists are continuously modernising unmanned systems. Thus, according to the publicly available sources<\/a> As a result of the considerable experience of using the Lancet in real combat conditions, the Russian Armed Forces have started using modernised ZALA Lancet reconnaissance and strike systems, which include ZALA Z-16 UAVs and Lancet series barrage munitions, to strike remote targets behind enemy lines. The new-generation ZALA UAVs are equipped with improved communication channels that are more resistant to the effects of REB. At the same time, upgrades to the guidance and target recognition system have improved the accuracy and effectiveness of the barrage munitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
