TL;DR Summary

Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia is being hampered by the Lancet drone, a loitering munition made by Russia's Kalashnikov arms manufacturer. The drone is most effective against artillery systems, lighter armored vehicles, and older tanks. As Ukraine advances, it is stretching its ability to deal with drone attacks. Russian officials have shared videos of destroyed Ukrainian vehicles, often attributed to the Lancet drone. The drone has also exposed Ukraine's poor air defenses, as seen in a video showing a Lancet damaging part of a prized IRIS-T air-defense system provided to Ukraine by Germany.
