They have already started.
It's also a massive benefit as Chaplynka is where Russia has most of their helicopters based out of for the Kherson front (well after eventually leaving the Chornobaivk airport and its 40+ attacks).
Ukraine had yet to lose a single HIMARS and they are highly mobile and able to be long gone before Russia can determine where the attack came from.
