Nice semi-informed item on cluster bombs, ours will blow up by themselves after a set period of time. The originals (and to my knowledge the Russian one) stayed there capable of exploding years later.

@DeadlyPlatypus To my knowledge (which could be wrong), we took the original ones out of the inventory years ago. I can't speak for. Other nations, except to say that the Russians usually hold onto older equipment and munitions longer than the US.

@DeadlyPlatypus The Air Force dropped cluster munitions in South East Asia during the Second Indochinese War (popularly the Viet Nam War). The linger explosions of these were the reason for treaties about them. While not not assigned to the units most likely to drop them, I know of their use from material at the Air Ground Operations School that used to be at Hurlburt Field.

@DeadlyPlatypus Sorry. I misunderstood your post. I was aware of the SEA use and already was out by 2003, also I spent most of my time with the 1sf SOW, 56th SOW the Electronic Security Command so I remember weapons types but often not their designation.

@DeadlyPlatypus Well aware of the targeting functions; general Information about it was part of AGOS Courses. Part of my last duties included recon into aircraft crash sites among other things.
