In Video: Russian Lancet Loitering Munition Takes Out Israeli Radar In Ukraine

The Russian military has destroyed an Israeli-made Improved and Enhanced Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar (ieMHR) of Kiev forces in the Kharkiv direction using a Lancet loitering munition.

Video footage of the strike surfaced online on July 9. The footage shows the radar receiving a direct hit from a Lancet right after being deployed in a tree line. The explosion of the loitering munition set the radar on fire, effectively destroying it.

The ieMHR was developed by Israel’s RADA Electronic Industries to provide hemispheric surveillance. The system can operate as a part of counter-drone and short-range air defense systems or operate as a stand-alone counter-rocket, artillery and mortar radar.

The system has a maximum detection range of up to 100 kilometers, but that’s only for large transport aircraft. It can detect fighter jets from 65 kilometers and medium-sized drones from 45 kilometers. As for projectiles like rockets, artillery and mortars, the detection range is between 10-14 kilometers.

Last year, the Kiev force received some 16 ieMHR systems from Lithuanian. This wouldn’t have happened without the approval of the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Israel was among the first countries to voice its support for the Kiev regime after the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine more than two years ago. Still, the Israeli government limited its air to Kiev force to non-lethal equipment.

This may be about to change however, as recent reports revealed that the United States, Israel and Ukraine are in talks to provide Kiev forces with up to eight MIM-104 Patriot long-range air defense systems currently owned and used by the Israeli military.

If this happens, Israel could face serious repercussions. Russia will likely respond by providing advanced arms to the country’s main foes, Iran and Syria.

iran and houthis are not afraid to attack israel and their proxies but russia is shit. not only in syria, but they have brown pants even over the black sea and can’t deal with unarmed us drones for years. how many us drones putin destroyed so far ? only single one after crashing him with a fighter jet midair. how many us drones were destroyed by houthis ? no less then 12. it speaks for itself.

you need to read real media outlets, you know those that aren’t american or english! you’ll then understand russia is castrating the manhood of ukraine, oooh and all the american and nato troops are also being exterminated in the russian grinder. good , well fed fertiliser when they exterminate the nazi clique being protected armed trained and paid by the american military money supplied by the american taxpayer.

why russians don’t take out israeli radars in israel and in occupied syria ? oh i forgot, putin has deals with bibi and let him killing syrian soldiers with the impunity. that’s why nobody likes russia and nobody wants to be russian ally.

you’re too simple in your conclusion. i suggest you give it a second think and hopefully you’ll arrive at the correct answer, although doubtful!

AM Hants

yeah, guess you are right. which is why russia is a dominant partner in the global majority. russia does not need to travel the world with a begging bowl and why world leaders flock to moscow as biden poops his pants and needs a chaperone to escort him off the stage.

when they say they are going to do it, it is because they are already doing it.

now the russians should be entitled to provide a) hezbollah and b) the houthis and c) syria with some serious missile stuff capable of taking down the jews’ f16s and f35s andalso to hit important landbasedv centres, kinzhals or some such. nothing to spare when it comes to the jews!

what makes you think, russia hasn’t every singe us-bird in some hangar?

Антон

do you think f-16 is worth to copy? it’s like old mig-29, because rural nazis will have older versions with no aesa. there is nothing new even at block 70, because su-57 already equipped with aesa radar and new light 5th generation su fighter jet is under development.

it will happen. iran has a version like the lancet. now just deliver it to hesbolah and hamas.

Антон

thanks for specifications, knew nothing about this radar before. zionists are keeping to destroy myth about anti-fascism of jews and “primary victim of nazis” concept which allows them to earn billions. now they are helping the same nazis which murdered their ancestors in huge numbers. it’s shame and treason of kins. god will punish for that. not saying that help to nazis makes you pro-nazist. the end of the false myth, the truth is prevailed.

isn’t it interesting, the patriot system was decommissioned by saudi for missiles falling out of the sky, just as patriot missile in ukraine keep falling on the civilian population tractors schools and hospitals. so now they are going to try and inflate the economy using the obsolete weapon systems that don’t work, like abram tanks f35 bucket of sh1t, and the patriot systems.
