Russian cluster munitions reportedly have a “dud rate” of 40%, meaning large numbers remain a hazard on the ground, whereas the average dud rate is believed to be close to 20%.
The Pentagon estimates its own cluster bomblets have a dud rate of less than 3%.
The article also mentions that Ukraine and Russia are both already using cluster ammunition. I don’t know much about it, and even with all of that considered it does sound like a risky decision, however it is war and Ukraine is fighting for their sovereignty. Hopefully it can help end this war expeditiously.
