On July 7, Washington announced its decision to supply the Ukrainian military with cluster munitions, which was explained as a temporary measure taken until Kiev and its patrons could increase the production of conventional artillery ammunition.

Cluster munitions are extremely dangerous for civilians, because they sometimes they do not detonate for a long time and cause heavy damage in populated areas. Washington confirmed the high risks for the Ukrainian people, but still pushed the dangerous ammunition to Kiev under the guise of assistance.
Amid Washington’s staged concern for the Ukrainians, it turned out that cluster munitions were already deployed on the frontlines.

Just a few days later, a Ukrainian general confirmed that Ukraine had received, but had not yet used this ammunition in combat. The Pentagon had no choice but to confirm the information but it attempted to justify its decision, which was not supported by many of its Western partners. The US military revealed that Ukraine has also received cluster munitions from at least one other country.

Indeed, the Ukrainian military has been actively using cluster munitions since the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation against the population of Donbass in 2014.

At that time, Kiev began using stocks of Soviet era cluster munitions. One of the most common types is the 9M27K cluster rocket shell for the “Hurricane” MLRS.

After Russia entered the conflict in 2022, the Ukrainian military was spotted using Israeli-made 120 mm M971 mortar munitions, as well as German-made SMArt 155 mm cluster rounds and NATO BONUS 155 mm artillery cluster rounds made by Sweden and France.

In its turn, Washington promised to supply Kiev with M483A1 and M864 cluster shells for the 155 mm guns. These are ballistic projectiles that have no guidance systems. Their low accuracy is compensated for by a large area of damage. However, the range of strikes with such ammunition is also significantly low, less than 30 kilometers.

It should not be excluded that the Ukrainian military may also receive M26A1 missiles for the HIMARS and Mars II MLRS. Their launch range is also significantly low. In order to launch strikes with cluster munitions, the Ukrainian military will have to relocate installations closer to the front, which increases the risk of loss.

Cluster munitions are not effective enough during offensive operations. They were designed to limit the maneuver of large enemy forces, defeat clusters of uncovered infantry and equipment, field depots etc; but not to destroy enemy defensive fortifications.

This means that Kiev and NATO are likely concerned about Russia’s counter attacks. In their turn, the Russians currently claim that they now have their hands free to use cluster munitions as well.

you know all about showers don’t you?
like dropping the soap do we?

Madam Defarge

get your duffle packed. you’re going in her place. ukraine can use all the comedians they can get. the zelensky “clown” doesn’t “fit the bill.” he’s too busy kissing up and throwing tantrums.

Mega-T

if putin cannot deliver a knock out punch to 🤡ski by monday then he is a paid tool.

Terry from Reno

everybody on the sidelines is just a little too bloodthirsty for my liking.

even wooden headed obama didn’t challenge putin on crimea.

there has to be a compromise.

Gneaus stapo

compromise goes like this endlösung der russenfrage, no fuckheads in the baltics, ukraine 🇺🇦, reparations for all damaged caused, public execution for putler and his gobnik gang of criminals, dedumbification for the rest of the subhuman ivan flatheads, hoping that that useless crap can finally start to use brain.

Terry from Reno

this isn’t the geopolitical analysis i come here for, but i would like the violence to stop for ukrainians as much as russians. i am not sure you’re in the position to string him up, you need to get to the negotiating table.

Ambiguous64

there was an attempt at peace by the russians 2 months after the conflict started. there were others before, but the one in april was signed and they withdraw from around kiev. the ukrainians quickly did a u-turn under the direction of boris johnson and thus the war continues to this day.
also, the western leaders all laughed at the minsk 1 and minsk 2 agreements they signed with russia before the war, and openly say they never intended for ukraine to honor any of their peace plans.

Darius

the real face of a true nazi. like some bad joke coming directly from the grave of the fuhrer. i thought one or two generations after ww2 there were no more of those horror monsters in germany. but i was wrong.

Dstroj

if there is one military on earth that will manage to kill and maim more of their own than the enemy, with cluster munitions, it is the ukronazi clown show.

the us needs to be hit hard . the chickens hawks would back off rather than risk a nuke exchange they know that they are outgunned. . putin’s big mistake , showing weakness, he should have shocked them , scared the hell out of them , they’d shit their pants ..now they think they can get away with anything .

Terry from Reno

just as well you aren’t calling the shots. the us needs to move beyond zerosum politics, but i wouldn’t wish the pain of war on its citizens. is this vampirism a zoomer thing? usually it is nafo baying for more blood…

IMHO

russia has already been using cluster munitions too in the form of phospherous. but phosperous does not explode, it just burns so it is not the danger to civilians like cluster bombs.

but it burns like hell and it is toxic, melting you if inhaled. ukros doing that with thermite for long time in donetsk. get lost, okay.

almost as bad as napalm .

cluster bombs are a scorched earth policy. the u.s. is willing to poison ukraine to ruin a russian victory; just like they did in syria.

syria could not retaliate against the warcrimminal us. russia will give the yankees a tit for tat, perhaps in syria or yemen. i hope they give some accurate missils to the palestinians.

Buford T Justice

they are fucking psychopaths, the real deal .

the best way to stop ukraine using these weapons against the people in the donbas. carpet bomb every part of the road and rail network

the zelensky dictatorship is a big bag of liars. they’ve had cluster bombs since 2014 and have used them right along. zelensky and his gestapo lie all the time just like their owners, the us regime.

using cluster bomb is the most idiot idea in any war cause if you win, your own children can step on it, cluster is for looser.
