It tracked fighters and tactical missiles

The Russian Lancet kamikaze drone destroyed the 36D6 combat mode surveillance radar complex at the front. This system was used to detect domestic Su-34NVO fighters before entering the launch lines of FAB aerial bombs, followed by targeting of batteries of American Patriot PAC-2 anti-aircraft missile systems.
