The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released a video of drone operators of a Far Eastern Airborne Forces unit from the Dnepr Battlegroup using a Lancet unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to destroy the Ukrainian Army’s Giatsint self-propelled gun and a US-supplied M-777 howitzer on the right bank of the Dnepr River.
"Within several hours of observation, two objects were detected in the enemy's rear, at a distance of more than 30 kilometers from the front line. They turned out to be the M-777 howitzer and the Giatsint gun, which were obliterated by precision strikes of the Lancet loitering munition," the MoD said in a statement.
The UAV operators guided the drones in manual mode to avoid the slightest possibility of a delivery error, according to the statement.
