Pilots of Ukraine's Signum unit continue to undermine russian forces on the Lyman axis, delivering another series of precise strikes against enemy assets. In their latest operation, the unit successfully destroyed russia's rare Type-63 multiple launch rocket system, SPG-9 Sapog/Kopyo recoilless gun, and an entire set of light vehicles belonging to the occupying troops.
The unit published video footage documenting the strikes, confirming that the primary target of the mission was Chinese-made Type-63 MLRS. Russian forces use this system to shell Ukrainian positions with cluster and fragmentation munitions, relying on its ability to saturate wide areas with fire. Despite its age, the system remains a dangerous tool in russia's arsenal, especially when operating from concealed locations.

According to the Signum operators, the launcher was eliminated moments after firing. The precision strike not only neutralized the launcher but also destroyed its nearby ammunition stockpile, which erupted into flames upon impact.
"This MLRS works across broad areas, but this time the area it fired from simply vanished from the map," the unit reported.
Alongside the Type-63 system, Ukrainian pilots also targeted and destroyed russian SPG-9 Sapog/Kopyo recoilless gun. This piece of infantry support weaponry is commonly used by russian forces to engage armored vehicles, fortifications, and firing points. Its loss further reduces the enemy's ability to provide direct-fire support on this part of the front.
Once the heavy weapons were dealt with, the operators shifted focus to the enemy's mobility assets. In a follow-up strike, they dismantled a motor park. The attack resulted in the destruction of a quad bike and six motorcycles, vehicles frequently used by russian troops for rapid movement, logistics, and drone-team mobility.
As Defense Express previously reported, fighters of Ukraine's 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade have destroyed russian ground robotic system that was transporting ammunition to frontline positions. The Brigade published footage of the strike on its official channel, showing the moment the robotic platform was detected and blown up.
