Totally destroyed village Posad Pokrovske. Hundreds, maybe thousands unexploded cluster ammunition there. It’s too dangerous to civilians, if you toch it - you dead. These clusters are scattered all over the yards of civilian houses. Our task was to destroy it as much as possible. Fenix Insight: 3B30 submunitions, which suggests the use of a 9M55K5 or a 9M531 300 mm guided rocket. The 122 mm rockets (9M218 and 9M541) that carry the 3B30 do not appear to use the cage assembly visible in the source photos. See also: https://twitter.com/tipofthespear42/status/1601217878409502720
