The Russian military has destroyed another M777 howitzer in Ukraine’s Kharkov region
The Russian Defense Ministry has released a new video showing the destruction of a US-made M777 howitzer in Ukraine. The artillery piece was taken down by a Lancet loitering munition, the military said on Saturday.
The howitzer was discovered during redeployment in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region. Infrared drone footage released by the ministry shows the artillery piece getting towed by a truck, with an apparent escort vehicle seen traveling ahead of the consignment.
The M777 ended up hit by the Lancet as it reached a wooded area outside of a village. Drone footage shows a large blaze and secondary detonations at the site, suggesting the artillery piece and its ammo stock were destroyed.
