A Lancet loitering munition has taken out Ukrainian army artillery weapon, according to new footage
A Russian Lancet kamikaze drone appears to have successfully destroyed a US-made M777 howitzer supplied to Ukraine, according to a video published on social media.
The short clip, filmed from a drone, emerged on Telegram on Sunday. The caption claims the Russian army’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) took out the American-made piece of artillery in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region.
The clip shows a target hidden in trees being hit by the kamikaze drone, causing a large explosion and fire. Two persons – allegedly Ukrainian servicemen who operated the howitzer – are seen running from the site of the attack.
It’s not clear when exactly the strike took place. Russia’s Ministry of Defense has so far not commented on the matter.
