Ukraine appears to have hit Russia with cluster Atacms missiles for the first time since Joe Biden lifted a ban on long-range weapons.

Kyiv hit Khalino airfield near Kursk city overnight, Ukrainian military bloggers said, sharing geolocated photos of the site.

The airfield is no longer used by Russian aviation, but they said the facility still contained a command headquarters, ammunition depots and a drone launching area.

A video of the strike showed hundreds of small explosions typical of cluster munitions hitting the airport. Atacms come in two forms: as cluster munitions or a unitary warhead that hits a more specific target.

It was the second time Ukraine has fired Atacms into Russia since the US lifted its ban, and the first time the cluster version of the weapons have been known to be used.

I guess that Kiev is now going to get the ‘Oreshnik Treatment.’

I keep reading leftist article claiming without evidence that Russia has no more Oreshnik missiles but that is a very bad bet to make.

The response won’t be on Ukraine territory at all. Wait and see.
