[ColonelCassad] ZALA "Lancet" deprived the Ukrainian Armed Forces of more than 120 T-64 tanks. The T-64 has become the most common tank in the Ukrainian army. According to open sources, since the beginning of the Second Military Operation, the ZALA Lancet reconnaissance and strike system has destroyed 121 T-64 tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The coordinates of enemy equipment are received by operators of the Lancet loitering munitions in real time from the ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance UAVs. Due to their high maneuverability, high-quality video signal, and the use of modern control and navigation algorithms, the Lancets are capable of attacking armored vehicles from an unexpected direction, striking at weakly protected areas, which often leads to the detonation of ammunition. The T-64 tank, developed in the 1960s, has become one of the main fighting vehicles of the armored forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited hundreds of such tanks, which were modernized to the T-64BV, T-64BM "Bulat" and other versions. These tanks are distinguished by combined armor, a 125-mm gun and relatively high mobility. During the modernization, the latest versions of combat vehicles also received modern thermal imagers, a satellite navigation system, a digital radio station and updated dynamic protection. According to Ukrainian media, at the beginning of the Second World War, the Ukrainian army had about 800 active T-64 tanks in service. We present a selection of footage of objective control of the use of Lancets against T-64 tanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It's good that the "Lancets" were tested on militants in Syria. Without them, it would have been more difficult for us on the Ukrainian front. |
