    , πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡· has provided πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ w/ an unknown number of ROKETSAN MCL MLRS and TRLG 230 rockets. Broadly comparable to the GMLRS, but they have laser guidance and can hit targets painted by the TB-2. MCL is a modular system that will replace all other
    MLRS Turkey operates.

    Which possibly led to this...

    Unconfirmed reports of a strike on Dzhankoi, occupied Crimea. It is a major logistics hub, at the intersection of two rail lines & two highways, and also hosts a major airbase. It's 150km from the closest possible Ukrainian firing position, so not a
    GMLRS strike.
