Two views of a recent Lancet loitering munition strike against what appears to be a Ukrainian Zuzana-2 self-propelled gun. You'll notice that in this instance the Russian reconnaissance drone sticks around after the strike to view the destruction.

In many previous instances of Lancet loitering munition strikes, the reconnaissance video cuts before any type of battle damage assessment can be made. This is usually an indicator that the device failed to disable or destroy their target. When there is clear evidence of an effective strike however, the videos tend to last just a few seconds longer to show the destruction.
