What's the deal with Zala lancet kamikaze drones in UKR? An Indonesian YT channel covered it frequently but it almost has no coverage in western military analysis channels. Most of the fame goes to Turkish drones or Iranian drones.
Lancet works nicely with good accuracy, but is apparently too small to properly destroy equipment. Soviet-era SPHs (lightly armored) are attacked but it doesn't get blown up to smithereens, meaning that the ammunition isn't exploded.
A Pzh 2000 (better armored than Soviet SPH) was attacked on the move and it doesn't seem to have serious damage, although the vehicle itself stopped. Those equipment losses due to the Lancet attack can be repaired and put back into use like those in the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict.
Apparently, Lancet's warhead is either 3 or 5 kg depending on the version, but the reason they did not fare as good as ATGM is probably that they use HE / thermobaric instead of a shaped charge warhead. (The wiki states that there is a version that uses HEAT, but from the video available it's hard to say which uses it). Petir V-101 theoretically can be loaded with a 10 kg warhead, we should put it into service as the research has been gone for like 3 years now.
