These estimated number of damaged helicopters during the attack on both airfields has increased to 14 (9 destroyed)
So, the *only* time russians are able to clean anything fast is when they are hiding the actual damage for their military.
Well.. I can’t see burning spots. So..

I think it’s a before and after?
Looks like 132 helicopters, 22 su-57 and 9 t-14
On October 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched long-range ATACMS missiles at the temporarily occupied Luhansk International Airport, causing damage visible in satellite images, according to reports according to Schemes.
Damage at the airport was documented by the company Planet Labs. The first photo was taken on August 19, and the second on October 18. The latest image shows scorched traces and destruction.
According to the Planet Labs images, which were published by the founder of the Intelligence Insight community, a minimum of five helicopters, including several identifiable Ka-52s, were damaged at the airbase near Luhansk.
Assessing the extent of damage to each aircraft is difficult because the ATACMS cassette elements contain relatively miniature M74 submunitions, each with a diameter of 6 cm and a weight of 600 grams. However, it is unlikely that all aircraft are in flying condition.
The images also indicate that some machines are missing rotor blades, and traces of fuel leakage are observed.
