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

they stop in engine block, but go through anything less substantial. these things can drill through leaf spring suspension or turbocharger (at least one way) as shown in an old video with very expressive russian soldier reviewing damage

Always nice from the Russians to mark their civilian looking military support vehicles with a “V” and “Z” sign (1:50 and 2:05 in the video), so there are no misunderstandings with selecting the targets.

They have to, otherwise the Russians will shoot at it themselves instead as they will mistake them for civilians.
