I mean, I’m absolutely against cluster bombs, but Russia is good for some jokes as usual:
Moscow again criticized the US decision on Saturday (8 July), describing it as another “egregious” example of Washington’s “anti-Russian” course.
For those who don’t know, Russia does use cluster bombs themselves, including in Ukraine.

They’re going to open a lot of the shells and use the armour piercing shapped bomblets as drone munitions.
US cluster bombs have 88 bomblets inside each shell. They also have a 1% to 3% dud rate on the bomblets, so that’s 2 to 3 duds per shell. Duds that turn into landmines. Use 10 shells on an area and you’ve suddenly laid 30 mines in that area. Mines that you have no idea where they’re placed.
So Ukrain can’t use the cluster bombs on any area they intend to occupy or traverse. They can’t use them on trench lines, they can’t use them on fields they would need to drive over.
I believe they will be used, but a lot of them will used for drone ammunition.
Ukraine can use whatever they like in Ukraine. If Russians don’t like it, they can go back to Russia.
I’m pretty sure it will be random civilians for the next few centuries after the war has ended that will be disliking it.
yeah sure, i’ll believe that.
Gotta maintain the element of surprise 😉
“we wont use cluster bombs anymore…we wont use them any less either”
