 Russian Landsat drone destroyed Polish Crab Hawitsa. A video has surfaced online showing a Polish supplied Crab Hawitsa operated by Ukraine forces being struck and destroyed by a Russian Landsat Kamikaze drone. The footage was taken by a surveillance drone on the right side of the Nipah River in Kursan region. The Landsat targeted the self-propelled gun after it was spotted hidden in the undergrowth. The loitering munition hit the Crab on its rear causing an explosion and ablaze. The fire appears to have reached the Hawitsa's ammunition load as the video concludes with the Polish hardware being blown to pieces. Warsaw donated 18 AHS Crab 155mm self-propelled guns to Kiev shortly after the launch of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. In July of that year, Ukraine struck a deal to purchase 54 more such Hawitsas from its neighbour. Russia's Defence Ministry has reported the destruction of Crab systems on many occasions since then. Some commentators have suggested that the Crab in the video was blown up by an advanced version of the Landsat which the Russian military began deploying in Ukraine recently. According to reports in the Russian and Western media, the newest iteration of the drone is equipped with LIDAR technology involving a laser rangefinder made of two optical cameras that allows it to detonate its warhead in an optimal distance from the target. The system was allegedly designed in order to bypass anti-drone cages and other additional defences that are being put on hardware by both sides during the conflict.
