UAV event in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Kryvyi Rih area, Ukraine on Wed 1st November 2023
1st November 2023
A video that made its way to Russian social media last month reveals that a second Ukrainian warplane has been struck by a Russian kamikaze drone while at an airbase. And unlike the first recording released, this strike clearly destroyed its target—an Su-25 Frogfoot ground attack jet of Ukraine’s 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade.
The recording shows footage from the forward-looking camera of what appears to be a Lancet-3 kamikaze drone diving towards the Ukrainian jet, which was parked at Dolgintsevo airbase near Kryvhi Rhi. There’s also footage from a second drone observing the strike—likely an Orlan-10, or similar surveillance aircraft.
The Lancet plummets squarely into the Frogfoot jet and explodes, causing a fire that eventually consumes the jet.
