Russia’s ZALA Aero Group, which specializes in developing UASs, unveiled this week their latest development, the "Izdeliye 55" loitering munition or kamikaze drone for deployment in Ukraine. This new drone is an addition to the renowned Lancet family, notable for its distinctive X-wing aerodynamic design.
Army Recognition notes that one of the most touted attributes of the "Izdeliye 55" is its purported immunity to enemy electronic warfare systems. This capability, if proven effective, could provide a significant tactical advantage in electronic warfare-dominated environments.
According to the company, designed for short-range operations, "Izdeliye 55" is set to bolster the capabilities of Russian forces currently deployed in Ukraine. This kamikaze drone, characterized by its four powerful engines, represents a notable evolution in ZALA's line of unmanned systems. Unlike its predecessors, "Izdeliye 55" offers a unique blend of operational simplicity and enhanced safety for its operators.
The drone's operational features are highly advanced, boasting Full HD real-time video feed up to the moment of impact, and allowing operators to choose the most effective angle of approach to the target. The drone is launched from a specialized container, eliminating the need for additional launch equipment. This feature significantly enhances the drone's deployment efficiency in combat scenarios.
