On September 19th, 2023, pro-Russian sources claimed a Lancet struck a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter stationed at Krivoi Rog Air Base, some 70 km from front line on the Dnieper River, indicating the maximum range of the drone was enhanced from the previously declared 40 km.
The Ukrainian government has not commented on the strike.
