Jack Detsch: NEW: Turkey sent Ukraine artillery-fired cluster bombs in late 2022 after months of Kyiv's pleas with US for the weapons, @RobbieGramer & I have learned.

The DPICM will give Kyiv a powerful—but controversial—weapon to destroy Russian tanks & kill troops.

(#) #Ukraine: Counter-battery fire of the Ukrainian army targeted two Russian BM-21 Grad 122mm multiple rocket launchers in #Donetsk oblast- as a result at least one Grad was destroyed.

(#) Corrected, as there are other possibilities for what was used to to target the Grads.

(#) One of the worst days ever for the Russian Air Force: Today, at least 4 aircraft- an Su-34 strike jet, an Su-35 fighter and two Mi-8 helicopters, were shot down by anti-air missiles over Bryansk Oblast within Russia.

So far it is unclear what kind of missiles were used.

(#) #Ukraine: Remains of 🇺🇸 AGM-160B MALD decoy missiles were found today after a powerful strike on a Russian target in the city of #Luhansk.

Decoys like this are designed to deceive enemy's air defense systems, and as in this case, to allow a real munition to pass through.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Weapons Tracker: #Ukraine:Ukrainian Su-25 close air support jets started to operate 🇺🇸 Zuni 5" unguided rockets- in this case they appear to be Zuni variants with Mk 24 HE general-purpose warheads packing 4.3kg of Comp B.

Compared to the analogous Soviet S-13 rockets, Zuni have a superior range.

This time Yugoslavian M86 125mm high-explosive fragmentation projectiles for T-64/72/80/90 tanks- a type of ammo very much in demand.

This example was manufactured by PRETIS Vogošća in 1987.

(#) #Ukraine:Photos from back in September showing the remains of a APKWS laser-guided rocket that just missed a Russian T-80BV in Kherson Oblast, proving that APKWS arrived much earlier than previously reported.

The rocket seen was assembled by Letterkenny Army Depot in April 2022.

(#) As reported, the rocket hit the ground near the tank and the remains ricocheted, hitting the turret.

Even this was somehow enough to take out of action the FCS of the tank.
