A camouflage net over a Ukrainian Т-72 tank saved it from Russian Lancet loitering munition.
A video of the consequences of the unsuccessful attack on the tank by Russian invaders was published on the Ukraine Weapons Tracker Twitter page.
It is reported that the Т-72 of the Ukrainian military was attacked by two Russian loitering munition.
The video footage captured the wreckage of one Lancet, which as a result of the attack having caught on the camouflage grid or tree branches, fell into two parts and failed to detonate leaving the Ukrainian Т-72 unscathed.
#Ukraine: A rare look at a failed Russian attack on an ?? T-72 tank by two Lancet loitering munitions- both drones apparently caught on the trees, failing to detonate.
It is worth mentioning that though the tank was covered by a camo net it was still found by the drone operator. pic.twitter.com/hhC0eN5jh9

However, the observers who monitor the Ruso-Ukrainian war, noted that although the tank was covert with a camouflage net, the operator of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone was able to find the tank and tried to strike it.
The Russian Lancet (ZALA Lancet – ed.) drone can be used for both reconnaissance and strike missions. It is launched via catapult launcher and powered by an electric motor.
The drone can be equipped with various payload modules depending on the task.
According to Russians, its maximum range can reach 40-70 km, and the takeoff weight is about 12 kg.
In kamikaze drone mode, it can be equipped with a high explosive or high-explosive anti-tank warhead.
The Lancet TV communication channel allows to transmit images of the target and control the loitering munition at the terminal stage of the flight.
It should be reminded that in November, the Russian invaders demonstrated a video of the Lancet defeating the 5N63S mobile command post with a radar station of the S-300PS SAM and said that it allegedly belonged to Ukrainian forces.
However, it turned out that probably for the sake of the propaganda video, the Russian invaders had destroyed their own dummy of this command post.
