The system is an unusual addition to russia's arsenal in Ukraine. While russian forces have increasingly relied on equipment supplied by foreign partners, North Korean artillery systems remain relatively uncommon in frontline footage.
The Type-75 is a 12-tube multiple rocket launcher designed to deliver a salvo of unguided rockets. According to the 40th Brigade, each rocket weighs approximately 18 kg, including around 1.5 kg of explosive material in its warhead.
The launcher's 12 launch rails allow it to fire a concentrated volley against an area target. However, its effectiveness depends heavily on remaining concealed and avoiding detection before and after firing.
In this case, Ukrainian surveillance located the vehicle and enabled a precision strike against it. The footage shows the drone reaching the launcher and hitting the system.
