another Biden W confirmed
Now less than a month later it was confirmed on CNN:
Airport strike
Losses = Reports are it was a mix of K-52s and MI- helicopters

War is officially over now that Ukraine has a couple long range missiles. Even though helicopters and fighter jets have been almost non-existent in this war, offensives are basically impossible now:

Apparently it was the cluster variant circa 1996 (instead of the single large explosion variant)
Some RU telegram posted pictures of exploded MGM-140 submunition
