Pilots from the Khyzhak brigade operating under Ukraine's Patrol Police Department have reported the destruction of russian military equipment, including a system equipped with North Korean weaponry. The unit released footage of the strike on June 7, showing coordinated aerial reconnaissance and precision targeting in the field.
According to the brigade, Ukrainian aerial scouts identified and engaged russian unmanned ground vehicle known as the Courier, which had been fitted with North Korean-made 107 mm multiple launch rocket system, identified as the Type 75 launcher. The hybrid configuration highlights continued evidence of russia's reliance on external suppliers to compensate for battlefield losses.

The equipment was reportedly concealed by russian forces in dense vegetation, likely in an attempt to avoid detection by Ukrainian reconnaissance drones. However, the concealment proved ineffective. Once located, the system was struck and destroyed, with the released footage showing it engulfed in flames after the impact.
In addition to this target, the Khyzhak Brigade, working in coordination with adjacent Ukrainian units, also struck russianGiatsint-B 152 mm long-range artillery system . This type of gun is typically used for deep-fire missions, suggesting continued Ukrainian efforts to degrade russia's long-range strike capability.
The report also notes that Ukrainian forces have increasingly prioritized so-called “soft mobility” targets on the battlefield. Quad bikes and motorcycles used by russian troops for rapid movement and logistical support have become frequent targets, reflecting their growing role in frontline operations.
