Russian Helicopters Ravaged by ATACMS Bomblets and Air Strikes in Eastern Ukraine

New photographs indicate that United States-provided cluster variants of ATACMS missiles may have damaged over three dozen Russian helicopters in recent strikes on a Russian military base in eastern Ukraine. The strikes, which destroyed nine helicopters and other military assets, were the first known use of ATACMS missiles on Russian assets in Ukraine. The impact of the strikes could force Russia to disperse its military assets and undermine its air defense capabilities, potentially changing the dynamics of the conflict.
