>j/k it isn't wunderwaffe
Already picked apart and found to be majority Chinese components. Commercially available Chinese components at that. What isn't Chinese is, most notably, an old PulseLite LIDAR range finder. Pre-Garmin buyout, apparently.
Very little of a Lancet is of Russian origin other than design, so this could be regarded as an essentially commercial Chinese drone from a technical standpoint.
Much like the recent T-90M teardown that occurred a few months after capture, expect a more complete presentation and analysis of the Lancet's capabilities in the near future.
>commercial micro electronics have surpassed military decades ago.
There is a linear connection between price and durability, that chinese commercial-grade shit is not going to last long in field conditions where temperature, moisture and condensation, dust particles, vibrations etc. are a serious problem.
Not saying everything has to follow top of the line MIL-SPEC but cheap shit simply will not last. This applies to commercial use between commercial cheap/expensive products and this will absolutely apply to commercial products in field conditions.
As a support to this comment. Commercial electronics are primarily optimized for performance while military are optimized for durability. It doesn't matter if the ICs are hot shit if they get ripped off the board being tossed around by private bumblefrick after all.
Now make it a highly stressed commercial grade processor and send it to Iraq desert with 50 °C ambient temperature and install it near a heat source like an engine or a autocannon.

Huh? Motherfricker, what???!!!!! What?? drones fly and have worked to damage equipment, what bullshit are you spewing? Theres no need to vibrate or test it because it works in real life, the most superior test of all.

Congratulations, you killed it. Start over.
Most military drones already have cooling problems, pouring epoxy over everything just made it worse.
>that chinese commercial-grade shit is not going to last long in field conditions
It only needs to last long enough to crash into a thing and explode.
And be transported to the frontline, and remain for days to weeks under field conditions.
The other anon is wrong, because they assume all electronics are as shit and fragile as Apple shit. You're wrong because you just ignore 90% of the basic issues the device would face almost immediately.
An one of the reasons Apple shit is so bad is precisely because they think pouring resin over it counts as ruggedization.
This, half the time I hear about some commercial appliance breaking down now is because of some dogshit chink capacitor giving up the ghost because even normal operation is 25% heavier load than what it's rated for.
It's shit in its class. it got a tiny warhead. less then a old rpg7 in the first version.
200mm of penetration is ok and can do a lot of damage but it limited as well.
It's apparently also directed strait ahead so it almost always has a very shallow angle of attack unless you hit some big box thing like a krab.
It's also not very mobile as it needs a truck for the lunch catapult.
But the overall concept is still valid even if Russian execution is garbage. TV guided bombs work and can play a effective role on any battlefield.
But the video of its use that almost never show it's aftermath tell you a lot
I will say this, the Lancet seems to be the only thing the Russians have deployed with any kind of effective precision on the tactical level, that makes me very interested in how the Switchblade 600 with it's heavier warhead will perform. I hope the Ukrainian's receive thousands. Thanks for Beta testing Russia.
Ackhually Lancet warhead is not so light, But its shit, They chose KZ-6 engineering demolition charge that was made for cheapness not effects.
I wonder why. I think developers didn't have access to proper warheads and/or had legal troubles to get such access. So they chose demolition charge available as industrial explosives and that brings down Lancet effectiveness.
BTW compare that to Iranian Shaheed with custom made shaped charge+multi EFP+frag warhead.

Actually The Shaheed tear down showed it has provision for camera and radio link and excessively build command module with extra control boards to support these feature, Iranians in their desire to streamline production don't even remove extra boards from control module, they all get the same module.
But Russians ordered barebone version without camera and radio link.

Russian guy who steals .408 Cheyenne Tactical ammo from west and builds custom sniper rifles cosplaying Geissele Automatics or whatever. He has full support of war and quadrupled production in Russia supplying Russian side. But. During 2022 he was raided by Rosgvardia (they do ATF role in Russia) over some pity gun making regulations (like storage of ammo in non certified boxes) and his factory was close to ending and he was close to jail.
I bet "real" ATGM makers of Russia (like all of 3 them) when new competition of Kalashnikov appeared started autistically screeching "no our warheads certifcation for you, over my dead body, stick to your stinking avtomat!" and where would you go then?
It probably will perform fine for what it is - an expensive sniper grenade, but that isn't something Ukraine requires. Maybe a few dozen of them will be sent to Ukraine for testing, if they haven't been sent already, but definitely not thousands.
if I understand correctly, 600 should ve able to kill any piece of artillery that shows up within 40km of the frontline. Which should help Ukraine a lot.
there have been switchblade 600's in Ukraine for a while now, we just aren't allowed to see them in action
Given that pretty much every other piece of western tech to make it to Ukraine has performed at or above its known specifications, I see no reason to assume the 600 is not at least as effective as it is supposed to be when used in its intended role
>performed at or above its known specifications
I have exact opposite feels, everything but himars is horrible and Ukis rather use soviet era equivalents.
Like I was always under impressions that idk strela/igla or bmp2 are utter trash till I've seen burger equivalents like stinger and that horrible euthanasia cube m113.
As gen-x I always had feeling nato would just steamroll over the soviets during the 80s now after this war in Ukraine I'm not so sure about it anymore.
And yet WHERE are the TB2s…? Why is Ukraine only deploying these Chinese quadcopter toys? Is Lancet somehow WORSE than a quadcopter rigged with small grenades? You people HAVE to listen to yourselves.
Because drones are cost effective when you just drop F1 on mobiks. And don't need to risk expensive asset.
RAM II kamikaze drones destroyed two Russian Tor-M2. Forgot that already any chance?
It has most likely been one of the more effective Russian PGMs, considering its relative price to the fancier laser guided shells, it's probably in the upper echelon of their weapons.
It has killed a M109. Hit the side and burned out entire interior.
Compared to all other Russian weapons and tactics that are hot garbage, the Lancet is actually dangerous. It's like a Ukie FPV attack drone but more clumsy to deploy.
It probably is one of the better Russian PGMs in the context of it being a loitering munition that gets walked in by another drone. Enough so that they publish more videos of it working aside from edited in explosions when it doesn't. Compare and contrast to the shitty jump cut videos that are usually released of supposed counterbattery fire where the location and times are completely different from one single cut.
1)It's not the first time one's been captured.
2)Lancet has one of the only successful Russian loitering munition precisely because it's not trying to be a wonder weapon. As they try to make it larger and faster, that will likely change.
Comapred to the joke that was KUB-BLA, it's amazing - e.g. it can actually hit its targets and is much cheaper.
So a cheap drone made out of off the shelf components? Not exactly a wunderwaffe but could probably be a nice export product for russia to poorer countries.
It's a Chinese copy of the SPIKE-NLOS, as some Israelis got caught building China a copy for them to use. China probably sold Russia the plans and the parts to make it, using other countries and companies as cut-outs to have some plausible deniability if found out or publicize.
i love how in america there's a complete shit storm when a small magnet is identified as being supplied by china for the F-35, but in russia they straight up build entire military systems from western and chinese parts, without a single russian component
>i love how in america there's a complete shit storm when a small magnet is identified as being supplied by china for the F-35
problem is, that "magnet" is a vital flight-system component that renders the aircraft inoperable without.
America is virtually de-industrialized, as far as the necessary material-production capability is concerned
A bit of an overstatement but not entirely wrong. There is quite a bit of industrial infrastructure in the US and a lot of it is being used but a large portion of it was shipped straight to china. One of the major ones was raw steel production and other heavy industries that produce a lot of emissions and pose a safety risk. Why deal with the EPA and OSHA when you can get a bunch of chinese 8 year olds to sweat it out and get cancer instead? They dont have to do pesky things like put scrubbers on smokestacks or dispose of waste properly and can just dump that shit into the wild. All while paying their employees pennies.
after 2014 there was an ongoing attempt to start using domestically produced components everywhere. This was called "importozameschenie" - lit. "replacing imported stuff".
Everyone knew this was impossible, so the rule was something like "a product may be considered domestically produced if 80% of its parts are domestically produced".
I've heard of stories like "da comrade general, this PCB it totally domestically produced. It has 10 western chips and 100 domestically produced resistors. Please ignore the fact that resistors are not connected to the curcuit"
An example of this a Czech Zetor tractors bought by Russia as "kit cars" so everything besides wheels and chassis.
There are video of officials visiting the fake factory and giving out workers rewards for achieving independence from the EU with domestic production. But in reality KEMP just did the homologation. And slap on a new brand

Cheap drones are definitely an area that really benefits from iterative testing and off the shelf commercial components.
The main problem with the lancet from what we see seems to be the small payload.
They could probably do with improving the aero design, because the current one is far from efficient and compromises a lot for a frankly unnecessary level of directional agility.
Of course there could be other problems behind the scenes: reliability, susceptibility to jamming ect.
The wing design seems like some kind of technology debt from a different design stage. I think they wanted the X Style wings so you can have tube launch and have them pop and lock into place.
