All the people arguing against cluster munitions are clueless.
Nothing annihilates enemy formations faster than US made DPICM cluster rounds. EVERY soldier and general wants their own artillery to fire lots of DPICM rounds onto enemy formations
massively reduces casualties on the side WITH the DPICM rounds.
All the European countries that signed up to the cluster ammo treaty did so against the will of their officers and soldiers, AND ALL of these European countries made it clear that Article 21 4-d allows them to request an ally (= the US) to fire cluster munitions on their behalf, IF these countries don't explicitly request the use of cluster munitions.
And worst of all: this treaty was cooked up because of the Soviet Union's and russia's indiscriminate use of cluster munitions
against villages, towns, and cities... and guess what: russia hasn't signed this treaty.
It's a 🤡🤡 treaty, that serious countries should ditch - like Finland, Poland, South Korea, India, Brazil, Estonia, Latvia, Greece, who never even signed this ridiculous nonsense.

here is a hint.....
the US is sending 31 more M109s....
the ONLY reason that they would be sending more artillery like that is that the supply of ammo has caught up and the increase in ammo production world wide can now handle the new guns. facts matter
@Free_Press i don't understand russian strategy, if they want to have more territory they don't need to distroy all part of Donetsk ...
