Hi, if I help translate your film, can I put it on my collection with your credits?
Very few people commenting seem to understand how this weapon works. Each of the smaller munitions launches a central large explosively formed penetrator at the target while several surrounding smaller penetrators spread out in a cone. These penetrators are small but have far more energy than a conventional projectile. The penetrators are traveling at at least 2km/s and could be moving as fast as 10km/s while a standard round, like a 50 caliber bullet, will struggle to make it to 1 km/s and these perpetrators carry more mass than any round would. The shape of the charge face as well as a cavity within the explosive itself is designed to form the copper into an aerodynamically stable shape and so the result we'd expect then from a successful test is a small hole into the tank, likely damaging quite a few of the internals and usually focused on the engine block, and an elliptical spray of smaller penetrators around the tank. Tanks deal well with even fairly substantial explosive charges. They do not deal well with small holes getting punched in them.
This test was with a dummy load to gauge the performance characteristics of this weapon in some respect. There are very few single weapons you could drop to disable that many armored vehicles at once. In that way I think the role of something like this is obvious.
This was what the description should have read. Thanks. Didn't make much sense till I read this one.
@Law Dorherty It's not exactly relying on a massive shockwave to destroy their targets. MOABs work by having enough explosives packed in them to level a building. This on the other hand fires out multiple penetrators from above. Literally a shower of pain
Yeah its not going anywhere near 10km/s.
@@haydengalloway5177 I don't think you understand what is actually being discussed.
a shaped charge like those in HEAT warheads will produce a ~10km/s velocity jet, but those are designed to detonate point blank against their target. with even a few feet of standoff from their target, the jet will dissipate and rapidly become ineffective (see: slat armor). the skeets in the CBU105 are EFP shape charges that use a much flatter copper cone to create a more coherent projectile that can travel farther before breaking up. the downside is a rather large velocity penalty. that said, you are very right that 2lb of copper moving at ~1km/s is gonna punch a pretty nice hole through the top of just about anything.
The CBU-97/105 family is designed for neutralization not destruction. The "skeets" that get propelled into the air have a IR and laser sensor. They scan the ground for height differences and heat from engines. If they find any, they destroy the motorblock of said vehicle with a dart-projectile. Although there are some confirmed tankkills in terms of "blowing them up", keep in mind that this is most likely test-munition with a reduced charge so that the kinetic effects can be observed more closely.
Obi Gaming yes, this appears to be a guidance test. The real load is like a micro HEAT round
Its a shaped charge, not a dart. It's got several sensors that cause detonation. It leaves UXO that will be killing poor people for generations. web.archive.org/web/19980501202224/www.afa.org/magazine/398dev.html
Absolutely, these were clearly unarmed training bombs.
IR imaging only. Not laser. There are two types . Anti-armor, and Combined Effects. Anti-Armor will fuze fire the shape charge onto IR signature of metal. Combined effects also fuses for lower and smaller thermals of personell , and detonates a HE frag munition and incendiary zirconium rings.
The 'Shake & Bake' approach. Poke holes with HE frag in fuel tanks. Follow up with incendiary to set spilled fuel and munitions on fire. Add some WP to create smoke and confuse survivors.

Clusterbombs are only "banned" (I think the maker means "against the geneva convention") when dropped over civilian populated areas. CBU-87s, 97s, and 105s are key conventional weapons of war. None of these are "banned."
Cluster bombs are not banned under the Geneva convention. The convention on cluster bombs was signed in Dublin in 2008. USA, Russia and China didn't sign it.
Plus, these are not mindless cluster bombs in the conventional sense, the bomblets are semi guided
Same with Napalm. Most of these bans are just on dumb weapons used against civilians.
SteelbeastsCavalry thank you was wondering about this
They may not be "dumb", but they still leave unexploded bomblets that kill people. 40 bomblets at a time, even with small odds, leave a lot of UXO. It's a modern day equivalent of salting the earth. The 2008 Dublin convention bans the use of all such weapons, despite some bullshit exceptions with requirements this weapon doesn't meet. The SFW is big money and a big part of why the U.S. doesn't join the convention.
Some real info on SFW (gotta use the way back machine because the AF times loves the military industrial complex)... web.archive.org/web/19980501202224/www.afa.org/magazine/398dev.html
No tanks were harmed in the making of this video
astafzciba but the Syrian refugees were🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Meh there just Pershing tanks.
Jacksepticeye 2 They look more like Patton's than Pershings

T-34?
props to the camera guy for standing his ground
0:35 Direct hit on the far right tank's engine block. Hit on the same tank again at 0:39. Middle tank behind the stripped tank hull gets hit at 0:47. Those are some effective munitions.
It seems anti-climactic; no big explosions, no fireballs like in TV or movies until you realize that each of those parachutes carries 4 robots that scan for targets on the ground and shoot molten copper that can penetrate steel and kill everyone inside a tank...
This was a test, those were dummy projectiles.
If the vehicles were filled with fuel and munitions, it'd be different.
@@k.a.p.x3642 This munition is incapable of using "dummy projectiles". It's just one of many absolutely fraudulent products that our congress-folks sign off on in hopes of a no-show board position in the companies that they help to rip off the country.
Even in DCS it looks more dramatic. See tanks blowing up, I half expect to hear metal guitars in the background.
Those were standard explosively formed penetrator made from tantalum. They have easily penetrate a few inches of top armour.
The munition did hit their target look up at 2:44, just because you dont see huge explosion or seeing the tank being teared ripped doesnt mean that it missed. Additionally, this weapon was used to kill the pierce and kill the inside of the tank while limiting collateral damage
2:00 that ping sound is the armor getting hit and the projectile bouncing.
Pretty cool.
Very interesting how the sensors direct the canisters to different directions to have numerous angles of fire on a single target. Super cool. Also for all the people complaining about the weapons ethics, I did a university paper on ethics in warfare. There are much more worse things for example, think of this cluster munition with smaller fragments meant for Anti-personal but the fragments are undetectable within the human body via x-rays by design, much worse (Banned by Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, protocol I).
Another thing, there are about a dozen or so countries that haven't Ratified Protocol II of the Geneva convention, purposefully not saying signed, because the US HAS signed all 3 protocols but has only ratified Protocol III, meaning we only officially enforce Protocol III. Just check out a book, there were tons at my library. Below is a link to a map you can just wiki on who has signed what, check to see if they have also ratified it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_II#/media/File:Parties_to_the_Geneva_Conventions.svg
TLDR: Super cool weapon, quit crying about laws and bans, there are much worse things out there that you have absolutely no idea about just thank god they are not used against you due to our military might and ability to protect ourselves and retaliate.
Thanks, I don't think people appreciate that weapons nowadays are much less of the monsters that they were in the 70's.
Just look at nuclear weapon yields for instance...
I totally agree, and two years after your post, a large part of the world's population is sitting at home because of a bio-weapon. They don't differentiate between military targets and civilians.
To anyone saying this is not impressive... Imagine each one of those rounds thats going off is explosive, thats how powerful this weapon is.
It isn't really that impressive though, a large conventional bomb would've done more damage there.
if you have 40 skeets and assume a lowball 50% accuracy, thats still 20 soft kills. for a conventional bomb of the same class (1000lb) to do that, all 20 vehicles would have to be practically parked next to each other.
@@zxcven youre right and I just want to clarify just how low that %50 lowball is, these things are insanely accurate and don’t need everything to be in one place
@@paulineschneider208 How so? Those rounds are piercing the armor...empty targets with no stored ammo, & no crew inside...visualize hitting ammo stores, with crew...
@@solidlift Yes and if you drop a big conventional bomb you probably won't even recognize the tanks afterwards. Of course this does a lot of damage but it's not as devastating as the massive blast from a large conventional or guided bomb.
this is one of those highly technical weapons that most people look at and think,"what am I looking at? doesn't look like much." but really it's deceivingly effective.
"WHAT, NO BIG EXPLOSIONS AND FIRE?! THESE THINGS SUCK! AND BY EXTENSION, SO DOES THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF THE UNITED STATES!"
This is indeed the case. Had there been people inside those hulks, they'd need to be washed out with a water hose.
K people...imagine if these damn things were really going off and exploding...those tanks would have to be replaced everytime those CBU's were deployed...105's and 97's are insanely destructive and awesome to watch
This is actually a terrifying weapon. It looks quite festive, like fireworks. It doesn't look like it does any real damage. However, then you start to realize that each of those things (Skeets) hanging on the parachutes have a scanner that looks for armoured targets. If it acquires them, it aims (calculates) and then shoots molten copper into the vehicles. And armour really doesn't like molten copper shooting in it at incredible speed. It will mess up electrics and occupants badly, disabling them both. Each of those Skeets also fires a ring of shrapnel around the target, so there will be even more free body holes for anyone standing around it. At the same time, it's almost invisible. It's like it has the intimidation factor of a mouse but the strength of an elephant. Underestimate it and you will lose both your vehicle and your life.
Is the sand ok?
The BLU-108 submunition has a dual effect warhead, meaning it has both an explosively formed penetrator in each of the 4 warheads per submunition to kill armored vehicles and a secondary fragmentation ring to kill any soldiers in the vicinty of the vehicles. That second effect is what you see hitting the sand (well that and the remains of the munition and submunitions which hit the ground before the actual warheads because the warheads have parachutes). If you look closely you can also see the explosively formed penetrators hitting the armored vehicles. These are metal slugs with a small diameter for penetration. They dont cause a big explosion, they just penetrate metal quickly and efficiently. But anything behind that metal is very dead, even if the vehicle only has a little hole in it. And if it hits an engine that engine is gone. Or if it hits ammo it will detonate it. etc.
the sand was very evil
It can walk it off... right?
Would be nice if they show the aftermath and the damages those tanks received.
Also, I was expecting something more destructive like area saturation like how the old cluster bombs does.
That's the thing, these cluster bombs are purely kinetic, not explosive. The reason you don't see fires and explosion is because the tanks and trucks are empty and not filled with munitions and fuel. That's why they look unimpressive, but trust me, you don't want to be inside a tank while being targeted by projectiles traveling
2-5 km/s designed to penetrate the thinnest armor of a tank (the roof).
You can rest assured that if there was much to show, it would have been shown extensively, instead of repeating the one clip that actually shows the one thing that actually got hit. This is a scam product, that is generally only used in cities, where it can't help but hit something someone cares about. It's worse and more expensive than just dropping more units of cheap, dumb stuff.
On the outside: A rather small smoking hole. On the inside: Carnage. Like a grenade that blew up right above the tank crew's heads. Doesn't look like much from here but inside it's death.
@@buckstarchaser2376 Hahaha yes, US spends 100s of Billion a year on 'scam products'. Take a seat inside one of those tanks while it's targeted by a CBU-105 airstrike and afterwards tell me again about these scam products of yours would you?
@@studentloans2488 No. I've seen this aftermath first hand, vs a humvee. Granted, it was not pressurized like a tank would be with NBC gear, but most tanks aren't buttoned up most of the time anyway.
All the seats in this humvee were being used, but the projectile went part way through the inside without hitting anyone. The rollbars were hit, and it looked like they had been squirted with a small squirt gun, due to the splash of the penetrator, but the rims of the holes were plated in copper. This jet stopped before it got as far as the windshield (vehicle was hit in the trunk). The driver's seat had the surface nylon melted in a splash-like pattern, but it didn't go though to the other side, and I couldn't verify that that was caused by the weapon. It may have ignited something in the area temporarily.
This cluster junk has less energetic material to form and propel the projectiles than an RPG-7, but that energy is split among about 12 small projectiles (anti-personell) and 1 supposedly-anti-tank projectile. It's an overpriced POS.
Why the barrel of the tank goes up 3:04 ?
This had to have been a dummy test. I heard 2 of these bombs destroyed an entire Iraqi tank column.
cough (propaganda) cough
Doesn't look that impressive from the outside. They are essentially shooting hypersonic metal slugs through the roof. On the inside of the tanks there is utter carnage.
@@josephastier7421Nope, it's reality.
cluster munitions are not banned. Just restricted in their use in dense civilian occupied areas.
Good job protecting those tanks from that evil sand!
That sand can't hurt anyone again! 😂
More like the tanks can't harm the sand anymore, the tanks are all knocked out.
Anakin thanks you.
Love the purpose and engineering behind these.
Russia sure didn't banned Cluster Bombs.
We never signed on to banning them btw
reptiles12345 very good, very good.
Have to laugh that we helped write the arms treaty on cluster munitions and then refused to sign it
Isaac Housley mostly because the Europeans always make some bs last second change.
Jeez, it's like those Jumping Jacks fireworks, but they actually work.
Meanwhile everything looks fine, but the people inside the tanks are Swiss cheese. Incredible stuff.
B52 full of these and that russian convoy leading to kyiv is bye-bye
It's honestly hard to comprehend just how devastating this munition is.
Imagine if a B-52 had a bomb bay filled with these
Fantastic!
It's pretty visually underwhelming. It becomes far more impressive when you learn how it works.
That's true for a lot of explosives. It's why movies keep treating grenades like they're all incendiary when the majority is fragmentation. People expect flames when it comes to explosive, not a little fireball that you might miss in a fraction of a second if you blink or don't see if you don't slow down the footage. Granted some films are smart about it and show a frag grenade exploding in slow motion and show it fragmenting and those fragments just destroying a room and everything (and everyone) in it.
This was a test, those were dummy projectiles.
@@k.a.p.x3642 dump projectiles lol. No - that was a live fire.
This is a quite terrifying weapon.
not rlly, those explosions are quite small
@@elemental7726 It's not about the size of the explosions, but about the target seeking penetrators that punch through the tanks.
@@elemental7726Just a couple of these munitions can quite literally take out an entire tank battalion. Don't let the lack of giant explosiins decive you, this is an absolutely devastating weapon.
7 прямых попаданий+ 2 сплэшом. если это 1 кассета- результат превосходный.
Of course a Russian would know
Pretty cool but it would be more interesting to be able to see an actual hole through that tank armor...after the fact. 🇺🇸👏👍
Yeah they should have shown close ups of before and after, it's one of those things when far away it seems underwhelming but up close after the fact you see they have holes in them and the crew, if there was one, would have been dead.
Im a bit confused before 2:26 .
Have any of those detonations from 1:32 harmed the tank ?
Id have no doubt that theres holes in the tank after that , but it would have been nice to see them .
it would have detonated the magazine compartment or mobility and crew killed the tank since this are basically just tanks shell with no fuel or munition all you will get is a hole and puff of smoke around that said hole its job is not really meant to eliminate large amount of vehicle from being combat effective a destroyed tank engine is pretty much a seating duck and will shortly be a destroyed tank
i dought it will pen tanks look how far away the explode from the tanks the lost all of there penetration power and MBTs do have 20 to 30mm roof armor i dought those small Shape charge will have enough power to go throw it russian tanks Even have ERA armor on top of the roof armor what adds around 230mm Shape charge protection what will stop the round dead
mayby take out tracks but i even dought that for how small the are
This was a test, those were dummy projectiles.
@@k.a.p.x3642
Why ?
Did you expect to see fireballs ?
Pretty sure by the look of it these munitions spin up and fire shrapnel for maiming humans, maybe some armour piercing rounds in there too but nothing high explosive
I remember when they dropped clusters bombs on top of my mom's house when I was a kid. It was scary AF.
would love to see the damage caused to the armor
I would love to see how the Russians deal with cluster bombs, even in their cozy little trenches. And they better look out for drones.
These are a new variation from the old days. In 68, Vietnam a cluster bomb fell very near my position. This is NOT how the munitions sounded.
Many an Iraqi and few Lybian soldiers did not live to contemplate a lesson. When your armored column is under attack by sensor fused weapons, DO NOT seek cover under vehicle! Run away from the side of the vehicle. Munitions are are fused for vehicle thermals. Well most of the time.If anti-personell combined effects submunitions are part of the delivery package, then you are screwed either way. If your armored column is being attacked by MK-20 Rockeye, then buttoning up in a tank may save your heathen behind. Then again it may not. But being a soft squishy human caught in open in beaten zone of MK-20, you chance of survival is practically zero. Best if your country or regime or group not fuck with those who control air and have ability to deliver those kinds of munitions.
Thank goodness I don't have to worry about these in World of Tanks😆🤣🤣🤣
Looks and sounds like my 8 year old son's birthday fireworks
But not as pretty! Wouldn't want to be stood there though! 🤔😲💀 😂😂
A lot of misunderstanding in the comments. These don't look very impressive from the outside. The small submunitions will essentially fire hypersonic metal slugs through the roof of the tank. From the outside it looks fairly harmless. On the inside however, there is pure carnage. Think of it like the entry vs exit wound of a bullet, except in this case the exit wound is made of hundreds of blitzing fast steel fragments. A mortar shell blowing up right above everyone's head is a fair comparison. Either way the tank is almost certainly disabled.
Ever see those old A10 Thunderbolt 2 promotional videoes from the 70's? Those were kinda impressivive compared to this
That's because 30mm DU rounds make very cinematic sparks when they hit armor.
I don't think that it might be band but it's useful I think other countries use thing's hell a lot worse than this..and they do to.. Just my opinion any way..nicely done with this video too..Thank you..so much for your videos too..I do greatly appreciate it too..
Banned? If they get the job done and are needed they will be deployed. However, as much as these look like great fun I am a little confused about what they do.
it isn't banned i'm still in the navy and we use them. don't know what they are talking about
Can the warhead penetrates modern tank's armor? Or it's designed just to disable other types of vehicel beside tank?
Yes it’s a jet of molten copper same as an rpg. And it’s targeting the engine from above which won’t have much armor.
Absolutely, that's what they're designed to do.
Idiots in the comments actually think the tank would blow up if it was hit🤦 They are bomblets launching a shaped charge of molten metal and ridiculous speeds. You won't see it hit. You would however feel it inside the tank 😂
Guy Fawkes: Flares on cutes
Defo not flares.
Can anyone explain me what are this...why it's not exploding
What evil genius thought up this bomb?
These are NOT banned. Please change the title. These are armor penetrators. Its like an air delivered M270 MLRS missile. MLRS is used by many NATO nations.
I never understood the negative bias against cluster munitions. Most often by people who know nothing of weapons and warfare. Political correct nonsense.
Yes bomblets can not go off and lay there and be a danger. But so can normal bombs and artillery shells. Even after 70 years dud artillery rounds and aircraft bombs are still being found in the ground in Europe. They can still go off when not treated right. And they do a lot more damage compared to a bomblet.
There have been measures taken to avoid deaths. By making them bright colored so dud bomblets can be detected quickly. Also information about NOT PICKING THEM UP is widely available, so anyone who is going to do that is an idiot that chooses to put himself in harms way.
Its like finding an old bomb and hitting it with a shovel.
So I see no difference between cluster munitions and regular bombs, shells, missiles and tank rounds.
Furthermore manufacturers are attempting to make the bomblets better, adding fail safes to make sure they will explode.
The problem with all these weapons is not the weapon itself but HOW it is used. Used against armored columns is different from using it in a city.
The effects of using conventional bombs instead could in fact mean MORE collateral damage and also more friendly soldiers dying by lacking good weapons to face the enemy.
The whole point of a bomb like this or MLRS is defeating large groups of enemy armor. Having to clean up submunitions afterwards is better than losing the battle (and war) or prolonging the war as that would result in far more tragedy.
Shout out to the camera man
technically its not really a cluster bomb define by the definition of the Geneva convention its a targeted and guided munitions it so happen to be multiple small guided munition lunch from the same canister so technically its pretty much like a very small jdam jam into one big pod
Yes, but those guided munitions are all HEAT rounds, so there's no big bang like a JDAM.
Lol at people in the comments talking about this being a 'banned cluster bomb that kills civilians'
wut
www.cnn.com/2016/09/05/asia/united-states-laos-secret-war/
@Izno Iznogoud 1:25 into the video 'and theyre still exploding today'
Yes, civilians has armored vehicles
Vision Invisible thanks but I fully understand what a cluster munition is. You do not understand what this video is.
are these fireworks ?
why do the blow up in the sky only
This is a cluster bomb. It drops a a bomb, which drops decently sized bomblets. These bomblets have skeets which will detect where enemy vehicles are, and then launch a kinetic penetrator at the vehicle. That's why the vehicles *LOOK* like they're unharmed, but if you took a closer look at them, they'd be filled with holes from the skeets. The skeets are not explosive. The explosions in the air that you see are from the skeets being launched. The explosions on the ground are triggered because the bomblets are programmed to self destruct once they hit the ground, to prevent unexploded ordnance from hurting civilians.
Terrifying, and glad they're on our side.
A whole lot of those black smoke trails were not pointed at vehicles.
Thought the skeets self destruction when no target is found.
Cluster bomb was used on civilians in Philadelphia 85' on the MOVE movement group. Only time the police ever did such a horrible act .
Combine this with drone technology and you have a system that could be used to deny an entire country's military of that use of their fields
these devices are only useful in anti infantry, if your in any type of vehicle or structure your fine
@@elemental7726 tell that to the Russians in Ukraine
wow...I thought one of these was supposted to be able to take out "a column of tanks" but it looks like multiples cant hit one fucking tank? lol
It did. All of those vehicles are unusable now.
you might not see it, but all tanks have holes now punched through them ... after the bombs those tanks are just a pile of dead metal you can throw away
I just see they fall and fly again and shoot, wtf, im so confused
Nevada test site, or China Lake?
just watching this and learning why this bomb is ban. the treaty that 108 states sign the treaty and 105 have ratified it or acceded to it. and is now being used in India, care to explain what's the UN is doing?
So many idiots in this comment section who are like, "i dON't sEe BiG bOOm, tHeRFoRE WeApON bAD. tHeSE jUSt fIReCRacKeRs."
It is effective for destroying tanks? Look's like small firecrackers
They are using shaped charges or explosively formed penetrators which shoot jets of metal in a long but thin stream at extremely high speed. They punch through thick steel armor with ease.
I've seen where a homemade one smaller than the size of a soda can put a clean hole through a sledge hammer from from front to back.
What are these? M80's? I was expecting more...
Anyone who is believing that this weapon is ineffective, go stand near that tank when they drop the cluster... Whatever imone of those rounds hits, is coming off. Trust me.
For how accurate they’re *supposed* to be, I could only make out 2 direct hits in that video footage, it looked like the rest of em hit dirt. Considering how close they got to the target before finally going in for the kill, that’s not very precise...
2:00
2:40
Ain’t a war crime…if it’s the first time 😂
Hmmm...doesn't look to dangerous to me. Maybe they will scare the mosquitoes away.
They're purely kinetic penetrators, not explosive. Also, these tanks and truck are empty, if they were filed with fuel and ammo then you'll see them cook off
Those poor M47/M41s
didnt the US environmental agency try and stop use of du apdsfs?
You can buy these on amazon! www.amazon.co.uk/Fun-Snaps-10-packs-supplied/dp/B01MYAM429
first Second hell yea
Kevin Home alone would do more damage :D
no
Funny if the munitions karate chopped the tank barrel shorter & shorter untill there was just a nub...it can be done!
nothing is banned unless you're under controle of the major countries in the world.
I could be wrong but in my eyes it looked like very few hit the targets
You are wrong.
I think this is nerfed charge for demonstration.....
DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE ?? ... LOOKS LIKE SOME VERY PRICEY FIREWORKS TO ME ... !!
Yes you did. This is a devastating weapon.
Plz show an aftermath, 90% of people (including me) think it just scratched the tank 😐
I have a feeling they want to keep detailed damage assessment classified.
All of the tanks are empty, so they aren't exactly going to explode from a weapon that's designed to go through the armour and tear apart anything inside.
90% of people have no clue what they're talking about, lol.
Yo that fucking weapon is badass! Haha 🤘🏻🇺🇲🤘🏻 Murica'
Are those ment to be Anti-Infrantry?
Because if they're ment for Anti-Tank they are a Uber failure lol
CBU-105 is anti material. CBU-97 are anti personnel/light vehicules.
And it works, it's just that you can't see it. It fires preformed darts that are very thin and go through armor doing tiny holes.
-VEAF- Shughart thx but then again materials seem to be fine in the video... What kind of damage are we looking at?
Basically it disables the engine block, slashes through the crew, and/or ignite the ammo racks. It's almost impossible to visualize the damage on those disabled vehicules unless you take a really close look.
That's because their engine don't run, they have no fuel nor ammo.
-VEAF- Shughart I see. Thanks again ;)
The pressure wave from it breaching the hull will not be kind to humans inside
Those seem more like shock grenades
I don't see how they look like shock grenades, because those tanks are dead, very dead.
It’s not “banned.”
Hammer Industrys tech
reminds me of batman vs Ben
If there banned why do they test them...?
They aren't banned...please educate yourself before saying something ignorant.
Why is this weapon banned?
Thomas Lucero you can't see or hear it.
@@randy0210 you can't see an A-10 bullet coming towards you, and you never hear it when it hits you
It's not banned, it's a misleading title.
Most unimpressive cluster munition I've ever seen. Was anything hit except dirt?
These weapons are anti vehicle weapons. I believe they target the heat from vehicles and pierce the top of the armor killing the crews, they aren't meant to be High explosive.
Every target in the test was hit at least once. Read up on the CBU-105 to see how the submunitions actually work. Without going into detail, they simply fire an explosively formed penetrator through the top of the tank. Much like a rifle shooting from above, but with 10 times the speed of a bullet. The damage is nearly all internal, ending with a dead or dying crew, exploding the ammunition or at least setting it on fire, and enough damage to the engine or fuel tanks to stop the tank, or other vehicles.
USA does what we want. We are like the honey badger we don't give a shit lol, that being said, and now being serious it's a useful weapon for a a given battle area. There should be no rules in war, it stops the soldier from being able to win the battle/war. The Japanese didn't care about rules during WWII, the North Koreans/Chinese/Soviets, didn't care about rules during the Korean War, the North Vietnamese/Soviets didn't care about the rules during the Vietnam War and finally the Taliban/Al-Queda don't care about the rules now. The goal is to be as vicious as your enemy because that's what they know and understand...
No one has hit the targets of failure
Looks like they missed!
Lmao all these people in the comments have grown too used to hollywood explosions. Betcha none of them even know what a shaped charge weapon is. Learn to read a description!
All criminals should be brought to a desert to go for a run & at the same time this CBU 105 been deployed
Sands is destroyed
Democracy in a can!
Can't say that I'm all that impressed. Seems to be a pretty "light hitter". Might be bad for a few people in the open, but, I mean, the camera survived the entire thing.
This "light hitter" destroy tanks, lol. Don't let the lack of big explosions decive you.
This is gta 6
