An analogue of the Lancet, the Scalpel kamikaze drone, has begun arriving at the Ukrainian front, the Vostok battalion has told (https://t.me/aviation21/4278)and.
Scalpel is a single-use multi-purpose combat platform capable of staying in the air in the target area for a long time in standby mode and promptly attack it after receiving the appropriate command from the operator. Its cost will be 17 times lower than the cost of the Lancet barrage munition (Izdeliye-52).
“Scalpel will be inferior to Lancet in some technical parameters – this is a necessary payment for greater availability. The Lancet is a good product, and the team making it are tough guys. But the Lancet is in short supply – that’s a fact. We do not set ourselves the task of creating competition – we want to fill the front with the necessary means of defeat, and with your help we will do it,” stated in the message TG-channel of the battalion Vostok.
Earlier it was reported that the Vostok design bureau has developed the Scalpel kamikaze drone, which will soon be used by the Russian army in the NWO zone. Alexander Khodakovsky, former commander of the Vostok battalion and deputy head of the Rosgvardiya in the DNR, reported in Telegram that the Scalpel is an analogue of the Lancet, which should cost dozens of times less and be produced in an order of magnitude larger runs. However, by the name of the drone he stated that it is not true.
