Drones 2-3 times more powerful than the Russian Lancet have appeared in Ukraine
The new kamikaze drone has a powerful warhead that can pierce up to 500 mm of composite armor.
A new aircraft-type FPV drone has been developed for the Ukrainian military. It has a powerful warhead from an RPG-7 grenade. This is reported by focus with reference to the OSINT analyst of the Ukrainian Front.
The aircraft-type FPV drone is being shown for the first time. It is characterized by an increased size, a different type of product and an enlarged warhead. The weight of the PG-7VL’s shot is 6.5 kg, which is more than twice as much as that of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. The Russian product has a K3-6 charge, which weighs 3 kg or 1.8 kg depending on the version.
The characteristics of the PG-7VL shot allow it to penetrate up to 500 mm of composite armor. The munition contains 730 g of octogeneric explosive. However, it should be noted that different sources provide different information about the warhead and caliber of the grenade. The Real War Ukraine telegram channel claims that the 40-mm shell has a 6.5 kg warhead. The PG-7VL manual says that the grenade is a 93-mm projectile. The exact characteristics of the FPV aircraft are not specified.
