TL;DR Summary

A video has emerged showing Ukraine using US-provided cluster munitions against Russian infantry in the Donetsk Oblast. The footage demonstrates the chaotic and devastating effects of these controversial weapons. While cluster munitions can be effective in certain situations, the issue of dud rates poses a significant risk, as unexploded bomblets can become landmines. Despite the ban on cluster bombs by over 100 countries, the US sent these munitions to Ukraine, with a claimed dud rate of 2.35%, although analysis suggests it could be as high as 10% to 30%.
