My guess is 155mm Excalibur artillery round.
Indeed, that’s a possibility. Possibly the laser guided variant, although the hunter killer variant is equipped with an armor piercing warhead so my money is on that one.
Just yesterday Bloomberg reported that Excaliburs are presently in Ukraine:

Russians left valuable tech behind.
Upgraded 1M version entered service 2016.

I was baffled at how a small force of a few thousand can gain so much ground so quickly. Alex Mercouris released his latest video that seems to make a lot of sense
Here are some points,
1. Initially, the Russians pushed into this area near Kharkov with the intent of of going to Slovyansk. However, they got bogged down due to the mines and the forest. The area has lost its strategic importance. As a result, there were no regular Russian military in the immediate area and only militia from the Ukraine side. Even with that, they were thinly held.
2. As a result, the Ukrainians met basically with no resistance when they go through this area. There were very little actual fighting.
3. The Russians may even retreat out of the Izium area. However, it is more likely they will send in their regular troops to regain it.
4. The regular Russian troops are now just showing up at the battle field.
With the Ukrainians far from their supply lines, it should be very easy for the Russians regular forces to cut them off. I have to say that Zelensky did achieve his objective with this offensive, to change the perception of Ukraine being beaten, at least by the West.
Nothing bodes well for Russians in Kupyansk

A T-90M working some Ukranian targets, hitting them at +1500m without skipping a beat.
You seem to have gone awfully quiet about the Kherson "offensive", mate. Everything ok?.

Automatic translation:
It seems that what is happening now in the Kharkiv region is that big battle that is being talked about so much.
The armed forces of Ukraine have thrown everything into the Kharkiv region. They even laid bare Odessa. The trenches against the Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic are empty, as are those along the coast.
If the Armed Forces of Ukraine offensive in the east fails - it will create excellent opportunities for the Allied forces. And there Zelensky will fall and no NATO satellites will help.

Not true.
Ukrainians are still fighting in Kherson region and moving slowly towards river bank.
And why should I talk about Kherson before Kharkov, which is where the Russians are getting the beating of their lives?... Do you want to divert attention?
In any case in Kherson there was a fixation attack, and the Russians have not recovered the territories lost last week.... Neither have the Russians reached Mykolaiv, nor have they made any great advances...
The morale of those who fight against the invaders, with high morale
It's not my fault that the invaders want to divert attention, from where they are defeating him...
