These attacks not only increase tensions in the region but also pose serious challenges to the security and strategic situation of both sides.

Russian drones operate effectively, destroying many Ukrainian weapons
Over the past week, many Ukrainian weapons have also been destroyed by the Russian military’s Lancet suicide drones. Videos of Ukrainian losses have been made public by Lostarmour.info.
According to data from Lostarmour.info, from August 4 to August 11, Russian Lancet suicide drones caused heavy damage to many weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among the targets attacked were five self-propelled guns, including a German Panzerhaubitze 2000, an American M109, and a Polish Krab; 11 towed guns, including five American M777s; two multiple rocket launchers, including a Soviet BM-21 Grad and a US LAND-LGR4 mounted on a pickup truck; nine main battle tanks, including a German Leopard 1A5; four infantry fighting vehicles, all German Marder 1A3s; one American M113 armored personnel carrier; four mine-protected vehicles, including a US Cougar and three Ukrainian Kozaks; a Soviet Strela-10 air defense system; a US AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar; and three unidentified military vehicles.
Many of the targets were hit in Russia’s Kursk region, where Kiev forces launched a surprise attack this week.

The company produces two versions of the drone: the Izdeliye-52, which has a 30-minute endurance and a one-kilogram warhead, and the larger Izdeliye-51, which has a 40-minute endurance and is equipped with a three-kilogram warhead.
The Russian Lancet suicide drone flies toward a designated area using a GLONASS-supported inertial navigation system. Once in the designated area, the operator uses the onboard optical-electronic system via a two-way data link to detect, track and lock on the target. A laser rangefinder then controls the detonation of the warhead.
