Drone footage shows a Ukrainian artillery strike making a direct hit on a Russian Ural supply truck, resulting in complete destruction of the targeted vehicle.

The video has an added clip of a Ukrainian artillery team firing an American M777 155mm howitzer, however, this is just B-roll footage recorded earlier in the year based on the lack of foliage. The B-roll does suggest that the M777 was used, which is capable of firing M982 Excalibur precision guided artillery rounds, which would explain the pinpoint accuracy.

It's not clear what was in the Russian truck, but it must have held important cargo for a limited resource such as an Excalibur round to be expended.
