Ukraine is using M30A1 shells.

I mentioned this a week or two ago. It is a shell that explodes in the air maybe 20 or 30 feet above a target. It unleashes 200000 tungsten steel fragments that rain death on the fixed infantry positions the shell is aimed at.
I don't post violent videos usually but here's a drone video of the M30A1 in action. I guess I'm putting it up just because I've grown to hate Putin and his vile army.
