MOSCOW, January 16. /TASS/. Russian forces destroyed a Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) with an assault force by a Lancet kamikaze drone in the borderline Kursk Region, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Thursday.
"Air reconnaissance capabilities of a Battlegroup North unit uncovered an infantry fighting vehicle of the Ukrainian army in a border area of the Kursk Region. After an analysis of the reconnaissance data received, a decision was made to deliver a strike at the enemy IFV," the ministry said in a statement.
Having waited for an appropriate moment when the Ukrainian assault force boarded the infantry fighting vehicle, a Lancet loitering munition team of the Battlegroup North destroyed the enemy IFV together with the militants, accurately hitting the target, it said.
