Translated from source:

A video of a Russian convoy hit by HIMARS fire in the Kherson region has appeared online. You can see the effect of hits from tungsten balls.

These convoys are used to supply the troops of the Russian Federation, but on the way back they take away food and other looted valuables of Ukrainians.

How far do those tungsten balls penetrate into an engine block? I can't imagine anything is salvageable off those trucks, with the possible exception of the pistons inside the engines.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I'm legitimately curious. Most of this seems like it's filmed some distance from the actual impact, but the tungsten still seems to pack a punch
