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.

What will be the response to this one?
Video at the link.
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.
You can’t fix stupid - but Vlad the Hazelnut Handyman is sure gonna try...
The response won’t be on Ukraine territory at all. Wait and see.
Biden’s handlers are behind this because they want to sabotage Trump in any and all ways possible.
Oh good
World War III coming
OH boy.... here we go.
Putin has never been one to bluff much. I wouldn’t want to be in Kiev right now. I just hope he doesn’t escalate to hitting our missile bases in Poland.
I’ve read the Trump team is conducting backdoor diplomacy with Russia in hopes of a lasting peace after he’s sworn in in January. It’s likely Biden knows this and is taking it as license to launch attacks on Russia without fear of reprisal.
I’m not sure why you say that. I don’t think there will be anything of Ukraine left.
I expect that that was the plan, the whole time.
Please see my post 5.
If they can sabotage Trump, they don’t care if they get WW III going.
The Democrats/deep state may not want WWIII - but they DO want the stock-market to crash, to saddle Trump with a new recession/depression.
“The response won’t be on Ukraine territory at all. Wait and see.”
You might be right. Nobody deserves it more than the UK. The little runts still think that they are a world power while they hide behind Uncle Sam like a toy poodle that rushes out to bite people only to immediately run behind their master to hide.
I can remember when when cluster bombs were a bad thing.

You post enough Russian lies & propaganda on FR, shouldn’t you help out a bit?
what are you talking about??
Yes, they want that, too. They’re going to be pulling all sorts of bad stuff out of their hat before Trump is sworn in.
“To hell with the country, full speed ahead to hurt Trump”.
This is madness. These people have never read “The Guns of August”.
“Why isn’t your name on the Donor List?”
You’re an asshole. Dumb too.
I choose to remain anonymous. I select it on the form.
