Seems if you google, the Russian sources are posting pictures of ATACMS missile fragments showing serial numbers and years produced. According to them, Ukraine hit a couple of airbases/ staging areas that are almost in Russia and did some really significant damage.
It seems this particular missile, along with having a really long range, is like a cluster bomb. Which can disperse bomblets over an unusual wide area. Works great over an airbase with so many targets lined up. Sorry Putin!
But what I found interesting, was the production dates of 1995 to 1997. Which means, they were close to having to be decomissioned anyway. So no need to fret over us giving away valuable stuff we would need for China. Ukraine is simply saving us the expense of taking them out of service.

Russia has been carrying out offensive operations in the area of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine. The assaults have contributed to a 90% increase in Russian casualties, the UK MoD said. Russia has gained marginal ground but suffered high personnel and weaponry losses in the area. INSIDER
Putin getting desperate. He's making a big effort (meat wave) here to divert Ukraine forces from areas where he's losing.
