Antonov UAV "Gorlitsa" AN-BK-1 made the combat debut , originally developed as an armed drone with the capability of firing ATGMs , was used as a kamikaze drone instead.

gatnerd said:We've seen a number of videos of Lancets destroying / damaging SPGs, small boats, and other fairly high value tactical targets. Based on video at least, the Lancet seems like one of Russias most effective tactical PGMs.
They're gonna need more Gepards. Any chance of more @schnuersi?

Lancet drones seem to have only recently begun to be used en masse , prior to October 15th , the lancet drone vids were posted occasionally a couple of times per month,but since mid-october its making daily appearances.
Days ago a video showcasing some clones of switchblades in couple sizes to be deployed soon was circulated. Altough it's beyond me why anyone would want a Swichblade 300 or even smaller size version its clearly too small to be of much effect.
Of course this could all be just vapor ware

Read more from TelegramIt also seems its specific units using them as the strikes are not all over the place but at a specific sectors of the front .
Targets hit in a single sector by Lancet recenty ,
From recent Lancet stats at lost armor since Octorber 13th ,Howitzers were the most frequent target with 17 hit its also clear that Tanks might be beyond Lancet 1 capability, of all the Tanks hit not a single one brewed up .

A nice overview on just how dramatic a difference accuracy makes for HE lethality (and especially relevant for HIMARS)
France has reportedly delivered 2x batteries of Crotale SHORADs:

Looks funky but disc plough is typical hardened metal like hardox so quite bullet proof by DIY standards

Another DIY suicide drone, this one was quite nasty. Looks like a block of C4/Semtex etc surrounded by ball bearings. Serious bang when it goes off.

This could prove fairly big news.
Turkey has transferred their version of HIMARS - but it has ~2x the range, with a stated range of 150km compared to the 70-80km of GMLRS.

Read more from TwitterPossibly related, SAAB claims to have received an order for its Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb, itself another 150km HIMARS delivered system. These could be for Ukraine, or could be based on the success of GMLRS in Ukraine leading to increased interest in guided rocket artillery.
