Russia claims Lancet strike on Ukrainian CAESAR gun

Russian military-affiliated Telegram channels have released footage claiming the destruction of a Ukrainian 155mm self-propelled artillery piece. The strike, attributed to operators of the 238th Regiment, was reportedly carried out using a Lancet loitering munition. The target was identified as a CAESAR self-propelled howitzer, a key piece of Western-supplied artillery for Ukraine. The video shows the moment of impact and the subsequent destruction of the vehicle. Such strikes are part of Russia's ongoing campaign to degrade Ukrainian artillery capabilities.
