The Lancet kamikaze drone became entangled in the camouflage net of the ZSU tank
The camouflage net saved the Ukrainian T-72 tank from the attack of the enemy UAV-kamikaze ‘Lancet’. Two aircraft became entangled in it at once. Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts posted a video of drones stuck in a net on Twitter.
The occupiers tried to attack an armed forces tank with two kamikaze drones. Meanwhile, none of the aircraft was able to reach the target. One ‘Lancet’ fell apart. The warhead of the Russian drone did not detonate for unknown reasons. The second UAV missed.
#Ukraine: A rare look at a failed Russian attack on an 🇺🇦 T-72 tank by two Lancet loitering munitions- both drones apparently caught on the trees, failing to detonate.
It is worth mentioning that though the tank was covered by a camo net it was still found by the drone operator. pic.twitter.com/hhC0eN5jh9

Analysts who posted the video on Twitter note that the camouflage net failed to hide the Ukrainian tank from the eyes of the drone operators. They spotted him from the air. The low quality of Russian drones allowed the crew of the Ukrainian tank to avoid casualties.
‘Lancets’ are produced by the ZALA Aero company, affiliated with the ‘Kalashnikov’ concern. The kamikaze UAV is driven by an electric motor. ZALA Aero produces drones in two versions, which differ from each other in the weight of the combat unit and the time of autonomous operation.
