For the first time during the Russian-Ukrainian war, a North Korean self-propelled gun "Koksan" was hit

Fighters of the 412th NEMESIS Regiment in Luhansk region hit a rare 170-mm M1978 “Koksan” self-propelled gun.

The firing range of this self-propelled installation with a high-explosive fragmentation shell reaches 43 km, and with an active-reactive shell - 54-60 km. The rate of fire: 2 shots within 5 minutes, and this machine is serviced by eight people (driver-mechanic, commander, gunner and five loaders/carriers).

The Koksan self-propelled gun was first seen in Russian service in October 2024. Its first combat use was recorded during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988.

We welcome another wunderwaffle of the enemy military-industrial complex to the NEMESIS collection of achievements.

Mirror

Toretsk was a thriving mining town, where almost 50,000 people lived happily (if you count the suburban area, almost 100,000!).

Mines, a beneficiation plant, factories, and a bakery operated in Toretsk.

The city had dozens of schools, libraries, and cultural institutions. The Palace of Culture "Ukraine" at the Central Mine was worth a lot - it even had a winter garden!

Hospitals and clinics were open, and the stands of the city's Avangard stadium could accommodate 10,000 spectators!

…And then near Toretsk it smelled (although no, let’s be honest – it smelled awful!) of “f***ing spirit”…

The 100th Motorized Rifle Brigade, together with its attached units, has been waging the heroic Battle for Toretsk, without any exaggeration, for almost seven months.

The once thriving mining town now looks like a complete ruin, a ghost town...

However, Toretsk will certainly be revived! – If only the stench of the “ru***y spirit” would get as far away from here as possible…

Full video - NSFW

The story of the engineers of the Bureviy brigade, who, with their work in the workshop, protect our fighters and destroy the enemy every day. "There are drones, but there is nothing to hang on them," - this was the motivation for the fighters of the Khoryv battalion Zakhar and Ded to get down to work - to create ammunition of various weights and destructive power for UAVs with their own hands.

This is the first episode in a series of videos about fighters whose passion for their military service gives them additional motivation to continue fighting for the country's independence.

Probably in the $1200 - $1800 range, excluding the cost of the warhead.

The headline is confusing, but they are talking about new units of soldiers that will primarily be using unmanned ground vehicles, similar to the new Unmanned Systems Forces.
