Looks like the Bayraktar's work? I don't think the Ukrainians have artillery or ground launched missiles to hit the airfield with this precision.

for sure not - demages are far too big - i would say airstrike or heavy artillery barrage, possible MLRS

Agreed

The article suggested that Ukraine Naval Infantry used MLRS in the attack.

Big chunks of that unit are ideological fascists and their iconography is pure fascism. They are the most problematical unit in the Ukrainian resistance. That said, I can't be too upset if they are 1) not officially sponsored and 2) causing Russian casualties. But they do bear keeping a very close eye on because their very existence gives credence to the Russian propaganda about neo-nazis.

The first two sentences are just another repeat of old and debunked myths.
They are part of the National Guard since November 2014. So, yes, they are "officially sponsored" by us in Ukraine, citizens and taxpayers.

Who recorded and shared that video? Looks like ukrainians. If so, that mean that the airport is in ukrainians hands once again.

On a slightly related note, the Rafales from the French Navy were flying yesterday over Croatia (ruffling some feathers between the president and prime minister, wrt. should the military A/C fly over Zagreb or not).
I've seen 1st hand the E-2 Hawkeye yesterday, for the 1st time in my life.

Hopefully, next time they do intercept another 40-year-old flying relic...

Excellent. I've always liked the Katyusha MLRS - those things must have terrified the Germans. What modern equivalent do the Ukrainians have today?

Nice. It's amazing that the Russian airforce or recon satellites didn't spot the MLRS moving into position and neutralize them. Are the Russian recon fatalities playing any role here? I assume the US recon sats are feeding the Ukrainians with real time targeting info for strikes like this one. Though a drone would do the trick.

Doing it properly would require both. You start with the sat imagery that gives you your baseline for planning, then just prior to the strike you verify with drones (or other recon, classically, aerial recon was used for this) that the targets are still in place so that you avoid the problem the initial Russian strikes had of hitting "Dantooine" long after the Rebels have left to steal from classic literature

The German's Nebelwerfer weapons were just as terrifying.

Allied troops called them a "screaming mimi" because of the sound they made when they were inbound.
