Drone video released by pro-Russian sourced on Telegram shows a Lancet Kamikaze drone impacting with what appears to be a 9K35 Strela-10 high mobility, short-range surface-to-air missile system.

For the record, my armor ID could be off on this video, but I believe I've ID'd the weapon system on top of the vehicle properly as a Strela-10, however it is difficult to tell due to the weapon system be partially obscured by a tree as the Lancet drone moves in for the hit. Feel free to correct me down in the comments if I'm missing a beat.

It's unclear why the Ukrainian Soldier would run up to the vehicle as the Lancet drone was incoming. The other troops in the area appear to know that the Lancet was on the way in as they can be seen moving away from the vehicles to avoid injury.
