In another dangerous escalation in the war in Ukraine, the Kiev regime has fired long-range US-made ATACMS missiles into Russian territory again.

This time the attacks appear to have centered around the area of the Khalino airfield.

This is the third time Ukraine shoots NATO-supplied and authorized missiles into Russian territory.

Forst we had BREAKING: Ukraine Reportedly Carries Out First Strike Inside Russian Territory Using US-Made Long-Range Missiles.

Then, it was followed by WW3 WATCH: One Day After First US-Made ATACMS Strike, Ukrainians Shoot British-Made Storm Shadow Missiles into Russia’s Kursk Region (VIDEOS).

Russia responded with a strike with a novel mid-range ballistic hypersonic missile ‘Hazel’ (check link below the article), and for a while, there, it seemed like the escalations might cool down for a bit – although Russia did attack Kiev and other regions with the usual Shahed (Geranium) drones.

But today it has been reported the arrival last night of five (some sources say 6) ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads in the vicinity of the Khalino airfield, in the Kursk region.

Watch: security camera video shows how massive the explosions were.

Depends on what they’re hitting. If they drop on of those on the *still operating nuclear plants* and crack the containment... yeah, that’s going to be a huge problem.

Likewise if they throw the same six missile/36 HGV salvo at critical government elements in Kiev - they can put conventional payloads in the HGVs for additional incendiary or other effect (though depending on impact speed, it might be irrelevant). Decap strikes are still more than possible and Kiev does not have real ABM defenses (not that they’d do any good against HGVs).

Others have already answered the “when did they come back” question. The “inhumane” part, aside from the people who decry all actually effective weapons, that had some validity was that cluster munitions at the time could be defective, lie dormant for years, decades or longer and then some kid could come along well after the war is over, picks up the paperback-sized device and *then* it decides to go off. Similar to the objections to mines - they did have a point, albeit not much of one.

The solution was to come up with a new generation of mines and cluster munitions that have a finite lifespan so that even if they aren’t swept after the conflict, they go inert after a certain period of time post deployment. The US has an entire new generation of mines based on this... that we’re shipping to Ukraine.
