 Lancet drone destroyed Hawitsa in Ukraine. A short clip published by a military-themed Russian telegram channel, Popots, to show one of the latest deployments of a Lancet kamikaze drone against Ukrainian forces. The video contains aerial footage of what appears to be a self-propelled Hawitsa firing shells from the cover of trees which obstruct the weapon. A Russian drone said to be a Lancet, then swoops in, scoring a direct hit and starting a fire. The terrain seen in the video is covered by snow, indicating that it may have been filmed recently. The strike was attributed to the Black Hussars. The nickname is used by troops from the 15th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, which is based in Samara region. Its members are reportedly fighting on the front line in the Donetsk People's Republic near the Kiev-controlled city of Krasny-Lyman. The unit is designated Aleksandr Skaya after a cavalry regiment fielded by the Russian Empire in the late 19th century, whose members call themselves Immortal or Black Hussars and used as their insignia skull and bones on a black Maltese cross. The Lancet loitering munition has been described by military analysts as one of the most significant threats that moderately armored Ukrainian heavy weapons face on the battlefield. Produced by a subsidiary of Kalashnikov, the drone comes in two main versions, with payloads weighing 1 and 3 kilograms respectively.
