The Ukrainian SBU group Alpha carried out a joint operation with the 71st Jaeger Brigade in which a Russian 2S1 Gzvodika self propelled howitzer vehicle was destroyed.

It appears that multiple FPV kamikaze drone attack attempts were made before they were able to successfully neutralize the weapon system. The complicating factors may have been tree branches near the target blocking the loitering munitions, and weak signal strength due to distance, line of sight, and possibly even jamming may have played a role as well.
