Footage shows both firing and impacts of Ukrainian 70mm laser-guided Hydra Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) in support of front line fighting forces.

It's likely that the two clips are not actually of the same event, but gives the viewer an idea of how the system works. The infantry troops were reportedly lazing Russian positions just a few meters from their own, and two rockets can be seen impacting the woodline.

The hydra system is an add-on feature that fits to unguided rockets, turning them into a precision munition.
