A Ukrainian interceptor drone has shot down an enemy ZALA Lancet kamikaze drone over Ukrainian-controlled Sudzha.

The video was posted by volunteer Serhii Sternenko.

The footage shows an interceptor drone of the Ukrainian Defense Forces pursuing with an enemy loitering munition from behind.

The Ukrainian drone operator landed the interceptor drone directly on the fuselage of the Lancet.

Збито іще один російський дрон-камікадзе Ланцет.

Врятовано ще чиєсь життя та техніку.
Закидуйте на дронову ППО??https://t.co/quzXQeWlJd pic.twitter.com/8aIo4gXY3f

Militarnyi managed to geolocate the interception site, identifying it as the area of the R200 highway, namely its suburban section along Lomonosov Street.

Interceptor drones of the Defense Forces have already destroyed enemy Lancets.

For example, an interception by the 11th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine was reported on September 3, 2024.

Recently, it was reported that an anti-aircraft FPV drone for the first time recorded the moment when a Russian Supercam S350 reconnaissance drone was shot down by another FPV drone.

Drones as air defense

On September 6, Militarnyi reported that operators of interceptor drones of the Kholodnyi Yar Brigade shot down fifty enemy reconnaissance drones in the Toretsk sector in a short time.

A SIGNUM Strike Drones Company from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, which is participating in the defense of this area, destroyed 49 Russian UAVs in a short time.

The lion’s share of the downed enemy UAVs were hit within a relatively short 20-kilometer-long section of the frontline stretching from Toretsk and Kostyantynivka.

It was also recently reported that the Ukrainian company Besomar has developed an interceptor drone that is supposed to shoot down Russian drones.

The fixed-wing type “kamikaze interceptor” intercepts Russian drones as they approach, and it can also carry out reconnaissance missions.
