ROSOBORONEXPORT JSC (part of Rostec State Corporation) held the first presentation of the Lancet-E system during the Army 2024 International Military-Technical Forum.
The Lancet-E system is an export version of the well-known Lancet loitering munition system that proved effective on the battlefield. It consists of the Z-16-E reconnaissance drone and two kamikaze drones (loitering munitions), Item 51-E and Item 52-E, with different characteristics, in particular, in terms of range and maximum takeoff weight.
“The presentation of the Lancet-E at Army 2024 marked the beginning of ROSOBORONEXPORT’s global marketing campaign for this advanced weapon system. The system demonstrated the highest effectiveness on the battlefield and capability to engage a wide range of targets, from any type of armored vehicles and fortifications to surface targets.
As a result, today the Lancet-E has great export potential, which we estimate at 1,000+ systems. I’m sure that once the needs of the Russian Armed Forces are met, the available production capacities will enable us to successfully deliver the system abroad.
In addition, ROSOBORONEXPORT actively offers its partners cooperation in the format of license and joint production on the customer’s premises within the framework of technology partnerships”, – said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of ROSOBORONEXPORT.
In addition to the Lancet-E, ROSOBORONEXPORT is successfully marketing the Kub-E loitering munition developed and manufactured by Rostec’s Kalashnikov Group. The Orlan-10E, Orlan-30 and Orion-E reconnaissance and reconnaissance/strike unmanned aerial systems are in strong demand among foreign partners.
ROSOBORONEXPORT today offers unmanned solutions for all domains of warfare, including surface unmanned motor boats, unmanned underwater vehicles and ground robotic systems.
The Lancet kamikaze drone has been one of Russia’s most effective weapons in the ongoing Russo-Ukraine conflict.
