For no reason, a short primer on DPICM ("Steel Rain"), the U.S.' main tube artillery cluster submunition.
M42/M46 DPICM is a small, shaped charge warhead meant to defeat both armor and personnel across a wide area.
The two primary 155mm DPICM rounds are M483A1 (88 individual submunitions, shorter range) and M864 (72 individual submunitions, basebleed for greater range).

Here is Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines shooting 155mm DPICM during Summer Firex '18.
GMLRS DPICM for HIMARS and M270 is a bit of a different story.

There is literally no evidence of this.

6x F-15s conducted a routine rotation earlier this week into the region.
There has been moderate SOF and related support activity in Britain, though that was likely related to tanker seizures.
Yes, the US and allied nations have an existing presence in the Middle East! Tankers are usually flying over Iraq to support the ongoing fight against ISIL, and they broadcast ADS-B out.

Transport aircraft regularly make the hop over, but no significant surge has been seen.

Putin says that overnight, Ukrainian forces attacked his residence in Novgorod Oblast with 91 drones.

Before that claim had been published, Russian authorities reported this morning that they had downed 41 drones over the entire Oblast. Ukraine denies the attack. Image
The area is heavily defended, with nearly two dozen Pantsir SAM systems, along with other longer-range SAM assets and EW.

The UK appears to have started supplying the Ukrainian Air Force with Paveway IV GPS/laser-guided bombs.

The munitions, built by Raytheon UK in Britain, come just a few weeks after Ukrainian F-16s were spotted with laser targeting pods. Image
