We've combined footage from both Ukrainian ground forces and a Russian drone showing a July 26, 2023 incident in which a Ukrainian BMP is immobilized by a Lancet strike and the following vehicle pushes it out of the way.
The first clip is helmet cam footage from the Ukrainian 118th Mechanized Brigade showing multiple infantry troops riding on top of a BMP fighting vehicle near Robotyne. A smoke plume to their front is from a partner vehicle that had just been struck by a Russian Lancet loitering munition. As they approach the burning vehicle, they make the decision to push it out of the way to continue on with their mission.
The second clip is Russian drone footage showing the strike on the lead Ukrainian vehicle as well as the follow vehicle pushing it out of the path. It appears the lead vehicle also had multiple soldiers riding on top when the kamikaze drone struck, likely inflicting casualties among Ukrainian forces.
