00:00Russia has received authorization to export the Lancet loitering munitions, which
00:05Israeli concerns intensify over a possible deployment of these drones in the Middle East
00:11Medium. According to expert estimates, the transfer of this technology or of drones
00:16Already manufactured for Moscow's allies, including Hezbollah, could increase
00:21The threat looming over Israel is considerable, according to the news outlet Globus.
00:27The Lancet drone, developed by a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov consortium, is being actively used
00:33by the Russian army in the war against Ukraine. After several years of restrictions, Russia would have
00:39Now that permission has been granted to export this system, concerns have arisen regarding
00:44of security. According to Ido NIR, an electro-optical engineer and independent researcher in technology
00:50In defense, the device is equipped with modern computer systems, including components
00:56developed by the American companies AMD and Nvidia, which allows the use of technologies
01:02artificial intelligence and computer vision. Unlike conventional FPV drones,
01:08which typically have a short range and limited payload capacity, the Lancet can
01:14reach targets located up to 40 kilometers away and carry a warhead of approximately
01:215 kilograms, enough to destroy armored vehicles. Experts point out that the drone
01:28It uses a combined navigation system that integrates satellite positioning and navigation.
01:33inertial and autonomous flight modes, making it considerably less vulnerable to
01:39electronic warfare versus conventional drones. Of particular concern is the possibility of
01:45that these technologies could end up in the hands of Hezbollah. According to IDONIR, this could happen
01:52both through direct supplies from Russia and through Iran, which could copy
01:57the design using similar Chinese components.
02:01According to the expert, the latest versions of The Lancet continue to be refined. Specifically,
02:07They now incorporate LiDAR laser scanning modules and advanced artificial intelligence functions,
02:13This allows for greater accuracy in target selection and greater operational autonomy.
02:19According to Lebanese political sources, the terrorist organization Hezbollah has begun
02:25to prepare for a possible large-scale escalation, in which northern towns
02:30Israel could become potential targets. According to these sources, the group

03:13They emphasize that the implementation of such plans depends largely on the decisions
03:18from Tehran, which is believed to use the group as a tool of influence, adjusting
03:23the activity of its allies in relation to the evolution of negotiations with Washington.
03:29Despite reports of a rearmament process, Hezbollah continues to avoid a military escalation.
03:35on a large scale. Experts attribute this attitude to instructions coming from
03:41Tehran. The group operates in close coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

03:51According to analysts, its function is to promote Iran's interests in Lebanon.
03:56both on the military front and through a possible political agreement should Tehran choose
04:02through that route. Iran, however, is considering the possibility of using its full potential
04:08military of Hezbollah fighters in case of direct attacks against facilities
04:12Iranian nuclear weapons or other critical infrastructure. At this stage, analysts consider
04:19that the group's activity is part of Iran's overall strategy, aimed at strengthening
04:24its position in relations with the United States and Israel. Experts point out that a
04:30Any eventual escalation by Hezbollah will not depend on an autonomous decision by the
04:34organization, but rather the course that the Iranian leadership decides to take.
