Drone video published by Russian state sponsored media agency RT shows the destruction of what is allegedly a Ukrainian owned AN/TWQ-1 Avenger air defense missile system.

The Avenger Air Defense System is an American manufactured self-propelled high mobility surface-to-air missile system built on the M998 and M1097 HMMWV chassis. From this video alone, it's difficult to properly ID the target that the lancet was aiming for. It's unclear why RT didn't publish the Lancet footage, as we know that video is generally released in the same packages put out by the Russian MoD.
