Another is an upgraded version of the Lancet drone. It has an extended range compared to its previous version, which has been used extensively on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited his country\u2019s forces deployed in eastern Ukraine, his ministry said Wednesday, meeting with senior officers in the southern part of the Donetsk region to discuss preparations for the winter, according to the defense ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chief of the eastern group of forces, Lt.
