helicopters at an airport in southern Ukraine (100km from the nearest frontline)
warning no drama, just combat news
Leaked by US officials
When Zelensky met with Biden he apparently promised to finally send ATACMS missiles. They denied it as a policy but the same day 3 different "anonymous sources" leaked it to NBC that they were coming.
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
/r/combatfootage gloats
Hilarious reddit jokes
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:
STUPID RUSSIANS!! why would you store multiple helicopters at an airport 100km from the frontline instead of in some field?? Bunch of fricking amateurs:
ATACMS cluster munitions
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

From wiki:
There is some skepticism but seems to be pretty much confirmed
In closing I love this Marsey, nice work @Igor_Konashenkov

I can't follow this anymore. I wish we could go back to the days when they were sending JLaw over there to give them all MANPONS.

It's the weapon Ukraine has been incessantly whining about not getting since the early days of the war and what Redditors have been foaming at the mouth over. US didn't send them initially because they have the range to hit deep into Russia and they dont trust dirty Ukrainian Slavs and muh nuke threat
It's just a large ballistic missile fired from the same vehicles as HIMARS MLRS, which usually fires smaller guided missiles, but with 3-4x the range. Russia has similar ones called Iskander which they rarely fire anymore cuz they used a large part of the stockpile early on. And Ukraine had a small amount of shitty old unguided Soviet ballistic missiles called Tochka which they also burned through early. But unlike that one this is GPS/INS guided making it very deadly.
It's going to help frick with RU logistics and rear command centers
