Footage recorded by Ukrainian drones shows two Russian combat machines being destroyed by accurate strikes.

The first target is a 2S7 Pion artillery cannon and appears to take a direct hit from a precision munition, possibly an Excalibur artillery shell or a HIMARS-fired guided rocket (GMLRS).

The second target is a 9K33 Osa air defense system that is destroyed after artillery is bracketed onto its location. It seems odd that the Osa was unable to track, or at least unable to engage, the observation drone directly overhead, marking it for destruction.
