The Russian Lancet's Extreme Damage to the M109 Paladin

A haunting image has emerged on social media, depicting a Ukrainian M109 Paladin howitzer reduced to a smoldering wreck.

Its left side is completely destroyed, the tracks are twisted, the body is torn to pieces.

Its turret is nothing but burnt remains, leaving no shelter for the crew, which is just a blacked-out space.

The explosion was so strong it even made a big hole on the other side of the vehicle.
