OREANDA-NEWS  Russian Lancet unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) destroyed a significant part of the military equipment that Western countries transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was announced by Dmitry Sablin, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, commander of the THUNDER Cascade unmanned aviation brigade. His words are transmitted by TASS.

"Thousands of armored vehicles have been burned, including Lancets," he said.

The deputy noted that since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, almost all Western equipment has been destroyed, including Russian drones. According to him, the calculations of drone operators for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a priority goal. At the same time, the losses of the Ukrainian side as a result of strikes by barrage ammunition significantly exceed the number of attempts to attack UAV operators.

Sablin also pointed out that along with equipment, thanks to drones, the enemy is losing ammunition depots and command posts.
