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.

The one constant I have seen so far during the Ukrainian counteroffensive has been the quality of Ukrainian artillery forces.

A significant number of Russian artillery assets, rear area units, and logistics assets have been ruthlessly targeted over the past few weeks. (thread)

Ukrainian forces seem much more willing to use HIMARS/GMLRS to take out Russian artillery assets before they move.

Additionally, Ukrainian drones appear to be a bit more prevalent across the front, with regular units passing information both to their own attached artillery and separate artillery brigades.

It appears that the Wagner tanks are no longer pointing their main guns at the Southern Military District headquarters

Looks like they probably stood down when Prigozhin entered the building
