Battle of the drones: FPV of the Armed Forces shoots down the enemy UAV ZALA Lancet

Slobozhanshchyna once again proves that she is inhospitable to invaders! Our unmanned FPV drone, masterfully controlled by the Ukrainian military, intercepted and shot down the enemy ZALA Lancet reconnaissance UAV in the air.

What used to be the exception is now the norm.

Together to victory!

It's crazy how much drones tipped the balance of power.

Yeah, this could prove very effective. Lancets have been doing quite a bit of damage due to their longer range. If Ukraine can shoot these down reliably with such cheap munitions, it will greatly diminish Russia's ability to hit targets behind the front.

I wonder if a parasite drone could be developed. A drone that would go up and latch onto the Lancet, and either neutralize or overtake control authority of the Lancet and fly it into a Russian target instead.
