(nb; note the arrow indicating the north-south axis on the left, the zoomed out view is from a different angle than the initial close-up) The bottom of the three SP-guns gets a hit (probably a Grad firing), just two metres or so behind it (at 0:16). At 0:19 you can see already some white smoke coming up from it too. Later, it’ll fully burst into flames. The other two have some close hits too, but those are more to the sides and front of the vehicles. Some are behind them though, but a bit further out. Even at that distance, they may have wrecked havoc amongst its crew. M109’s often have their rear doors open when firing. In the initial close up, you can see some of the (spent?) casings behind the vehicle, and if you look closely, you see the bottom door is indeed open. The blast-waves and shrapnel may well have killed, injured or otherwise incapacitated the crews, as well as caused damage (internally) to the SP’s. Also note that there is at least one additional vehicle tucked against the tree-line. Looks like a civilian truck pressed into service (0:28, just under the star at the top of the screen). One round landed about ten metres from it, so even though it’s not on fire, i think it highly likely it’s damaged beyond reasonable repair.
