The ZALA complex hit the French Caesar self-propelled artillery unit. The task was carried out by operators of a special unit using a combination of a Z-16 reconnaissance drone and a Lancet loitering munition.
The Z-16 reconnaissance module recorded the position of the self-propelled unit, after which the operators directed the Lancet loitering munition at the object. The strike completed the "detection - destruction" cycle without the crew entering the area of use. According to experts, the improved communication channel and updated software provided stable transmission of target coordinates in real time.
The Z-16 aircraft takes to the air in less than fifteen minutes and conducts surveillance at a distance of several tens of kilometers from the launch point.
The integration of long-range reconnaissance and autonomous ammunition forms a closed control loop that works in all weather conditions and at any time of the day. Regular firmware updates and sensor calibration allow the system to adapt to new types of targets.
