  • A video appears to show a Russian Lancet drone striking a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter at an air base.
  • It was launched from around 50 miles away, but Lancet drones previously only reached up to 25 miles.
  • The drones, which are small and cheap, are being increasingly used by Russia in the war.

A Russian drone struck a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter that was around 50 miles away from the nearest Russian position, suggesting its small attack drones can now reach far further than before.
