The Vostok design bureau has launched the Scalpel kamikaze drone into serial production. The flight range of the new drone is 40 km, the payload weight is 5 kg, and the cruising speed is 120 km/h.

Analysts believe that this drone will find its niche and will be used in the northwestern military zone along with the Lancet. The developers will try to keep the price at this level in the future, the brigade commander added. “We do not set ourselves the task of creating competition - we want to fill the front with the necessary means of destruction,” he said.
