comes in second to MLRS  Just like discussions about CAS aircraft, attack helicopters, and other weapon systems - the system that comes in first is the one whose leadership actually has the balls to use it when needed. Looks like they're hitting orchards there. Random people are going to get blown up for years. |

They keep using and increase the use of weapons like that, and they very well may begin to alter the battlefield in Syria.

The silence of the cameraman spoke volumes, considering how generally overused the snackbar is. He was dumbstruck. Good. It shows they don't have anything that equates to a hushed "Jesus H. Christ" or "Lookit that shit" in their garbage sounding language. Hahaha, Exactly! |

Alternatively, if I was a commander that had those as a resource to use against an less than well equipped enemy, I'd absolutely launch at dusk. All those flashes and fire just add to the psychological impact. |

The Russian cluster bombs in my experience are meh.
 They are large, clunky and have a high dud rate. Ours are small, numerous, very effective and have a high dud rate. 
The data I have shows we used the following just for Desert Storm. The US dropped 27,987 Rockeye bombs over Iraq and Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm, resulting in the release of 6,912,789 Mk 118 bomblets. The MK 118 bomblet weighs 1.32 pounds, and contains a shaped charge capable of piercing 7.5 inches of armor and 31 inches of reinforced concrete.
The US dropped 10,035 CBU-87/B's on Iraq and Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War, resulting in the release of 2,027,070 BLU-97/B bomblets. In addition, the U.S. Navy launched 27 TLAM-D cruise missiles carrying the BLU-97/B. The TLAMD carries 166 bomblets, resulting in the release of 4,482 BLU-97/B bomblets. During the Gulf War, U.S. forces used 232 MLRS launchers, and fired 17,286 MLRS rockets, resulting in the release of 11,132,184 M77 bomblets. According to the Human Rights Watch Arms Project, some 100,000 cluster munitions were shot from artillery projectiles during the Gulf War, resulting in the release of @8,800,000 M42/M46 DPICM submunitions. Total for Desert Storm: >37,676,525 submunitions. This is just the hard numbers. We also dropped another 4-5 million BLU-77 APAMS, BLU-61 Softballs and BLU-63 Baseballs during DS. I never did get the totals we used during OIF/OEF, but I'm sure we still used a shit ton. The last time I looked, we still had >8,000,000 rounds of 155mm DPICM in the inventory. Each round carries 88 submunitions. Plus 10's of thousands of MLRS rockets each with 644 DPICM submuntions. Lets not forget the few hundred thousand various aircraft delivered cluster bombs. If we wanted to we could unleash hell on anyone we desired. |
