Out of every 10 cluster bomblets 9 are live (maybe some are duds) and 1 is loaded with delicious candy for winning hearts & minds.

It’s FA DPICM in 155, which is used defensively to halt tank columns. There’s no real benefit in offensive use against fieldworks.

Just like when Ukraine was given the similar RAAMS, it shows US planners expect the overall forecast to have them on the defensive imo.

Up to 40% of bomblets have failed to explode in some recent conflicts, according to the ICRC.

The US dropped an estimated 260m cluster munitions in Laos between 1964 and 1973. So far, fewer than 400,000 – or 0.47% – have been cleared and at least 11,000 people have been killed, according to Reuters.

US officials have claimed that any munitions provided to Ukraine would have a reduced “dud rate”, meaning there will be far fewer unexploded rounds that could later result in unintended civilian deaths.


unless the dud rate is 0 then the USA is absolutely happy with maiming ukrainians for decades to come

I seem to recall that the dud rate of the actual munitions in question is a bit higher, because artillery delivered DPICM has thicker walls and less sensitive fuzes than air or rocket delivered munitions for obvious reasons.

Cluster bombs are actually good for Ukraine because they will explode anything unexploded left by Russia, and if those cluster bombs do not explode that is also Russia's fault :brainworms:

It is remarkable how the most rabidly pro-Ukraine westerners have in practice total disregard for the people actually living in the country.

The fact it's not good against fieldworks will be irrelevant when they are fired at cities behind the frontline.
