The crew of the ZALA "Lancet" UCAV of the 50th separate "Varyag" brigade struck the IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile system. The loitering munition was launched from a distance of almost 200 kilometers, ZALA reports in its Telegram channel.
The intelligent guidance and target recognition system "IRRA" identified the equipment camouflaged in the forest belt and proceeded to guide the munition to the target. It is noted that this complex played a key role in the air defense system in the southern direction, providing cover for an important port area.
According to analysts, the launch range is 196 kilometers, and the starting point was in the Black Sea, which suggests a launch from a boat. It is reported that as a result of the strike, the anti-aircraft complex was destroyed. The identification of the target by the "IRRA" system and the successful guidance of the munition in conditions of electronic countermeasures confirm the high effectiveness of this approach to defeating enemy air defense.
