Russia has developed a new modification of the Lancet vaccine for Middle Eastern countries.
The Kalashnikov Concern has developed a new portable unmanned reconnaissance and strike system called the RUS-PE, which is essentially a modernized version of the Lancet loitering munition. According to the developers, the system's first public demonstration is planned for the World Defense Show in Riyadh, which will take place from February 8 to 12.
The RUS-PE system is designed for the rapid, high-precision destruction of single, stationary and moving targets (or groups of targets) of the enemy by impacting them with a guided munition.
– the developers explain.
It is emphasized that the guided munition (GM) is a carrier with an X-shaped aerodynamic surface attachment scheme, which is equipped with a warhead, control equipment, and a homing head (GHS) that provides guidance to the target.
The UB is launched from a portable transport and launch container (TLC) using a pneumatic launcher. The seeker enables the RUS-PE to operate in autonomous, semi-autonomous, and manual modes. The dual-channel gyrostabilized optical seeker system enables automatic detection and identification of stationary and moving targets, using Technology artificial intelligence. The device's flight duration is up to 30 minutes, and its cruising speed is approximately 140 km/h.
- said in a statement.
As the concern explains, the project is initially an export one, with the Middle East considered its key market.
It's worth noting that the Lancet loitering munition is rightfully considered one of the symbols of the special military operation in Ukraine. Using it, Russian forces destroyed over a thousand different targets, including enemy tanks and self-propelled artillery units.
