A video circulating online appears to show a Russian Lancet drone striking a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter at an air base, suggesting that these small attack drones now have the ability to hit targets much further away. Previously, Lancet drones had a range of around 25 miles, but this incident indicates that they can now reach up to 50 miles. The drones, which are cheap and difficult to intercept, have been increasingly used by Russia in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

"Russia's Response to Ukraine's 'Storm Shadow' Missile Raises Tensions"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Newsweek

Ukraine has received Storm Shadow cruise missiles from the UK, which have a longer range than the HIMARS provided by the US. The missiles were reportedly used to strike targets in Luhansk, Ukraine, on Friday. Russian officials have expressed concern about Ukraine's new long-range capability, but it is unclear if the Storm Shadow missiles have been used against Russian forces. Military experts suggest the missiles will be useful for targeting command centers, ammunition storage facilities, and supply lines.
