I can't tell what vehicles these are. It surprises me that GMLRS are being used for single vehicles, but I suppose I could see it being tactically advantageous.

The guy on top of the second vehicle took just a bit too long to make up his mind to run. Assuming he got decided immediately to get out and run when the first rocket hit, would he have had enough time to clear enough distance from the second vehicle strike?

I'm pretty sure the same video was posted here before, but I couldn't find with a quick search and on that was info that the vehicles would've been self propelled artillery. I'm not expert either and from video that's pretty hard to tell for sure.

That being said, Ukraine seems to use pretty heavy firepower against "low value" targets quite often which might feel like overkill/wasteful, but they seem to know what they're doing so I'm going to just assume that they know what they're doing and wish that Ukrainians get their peace sooner than later.
