Ukrainian military eliminated hundreds of Russian assault troops and destroyed heavy equipment in the direction near Toretsk. Among the destroyed equipment was a Chinese Type 63 multiple rocket launcher.
Reconnaissance drones of the “Phoenix” unit detected and destroyed the multiple rocket launcher along with other military equipment near Kostyantynivka. According to Phoenix border guards, the number of killed Russian assault troops in these battles reaches hundreds. The operations targeted pinpoint strikes on the logistics of the occupiers in the Toretsk direction, achieving significant successes.
The Chinese Type 63 MLRS, developed in the 1960s, was used by many countries, including North Korea and Russia. Its launcher is mounted on an artillery carriage and capable of firing rockets weighing around 18 kilograms. The use of this system in combat positions by Russian forces indicates the diversity of equipment being used in the current conflict.
These successes of the Ukrainian military follow the recent destruction of four North Korean self-propelled artillery units “Koksan.” President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, also stated that China supplied machine tools to Russia for weapons production, highlighting the complexity of international diplomacy and the challenges Ukraine faces in its defense strategy.
