thank you for being with us give us the militaries perspective on this, why would be attractive to the ukrainian officer on the ground? it ukrainian officer on the ground? it is really in the name, dpicm stands for dual—purpose approved munition and the dual purpose it is talk about is the fact that it can be used both to destroy armoured vehicles as well as kill enemy soldiers. the way these things work are effectively a tube filled with around 650 submissions, the submunitions are high explosive anti—tank routes of the ukrainian officers will be able to use them when they call for fires to destroy armoured vehicles and destroyed bunkers. the casing that the missile comes in, the shell, is pre—botched so as it explodes that send fragments through the air which is supposed to take care of a dismounted person. so you can use these missiles to saturate many

during the first year of the conflict alone russian fired cluster munitions deployed from a range of weapons systems have likely expended tens of millions of submunitions or bomblets in ukraine. and the final point, when i talk about what russia is doing with cluster munitions i'm not making an argument that says they do it so we'll do it. the argument i'm making is that russia has already spread tens of millions of these bomblets across ukraine territory. so we have to ask ourselves, is ukraine's use of cluster munitions on the same land actually that much of an addition of civilian harm, given that area has to be demined regardless. when we look at the situation today as opposed to a year ago, and when we look at what ukraine would be doing with these weapons as opposed to what russia is doing with the weapons, we see a substantial difference. it doesn't make it an easy decision and i'm not going to

that explode and launch dozens and dozens of tiny little submunitions that then explode themselves. part of the risk just apart from the fact that they can affect such a large group of people, such a large area of land is also the fact that many of these submunitions, when they explode on the ground, don't actually explode. and so like land mines, they kind of just lay around until people and potentially civilians encounter them. so this is very controversial. the biden administration is weighing it, but they say that they are not necessarily considering it seriously at this point. primarily because congress has actually imposed restrictions on the u.s.'s ability to send these cluster munitions overseas. president biden can overrule that, but that would require an extraordinary determination that the administration does not seem prepared to make at this point. however, the ukrainians have been saying this could really be a game changer for them on the battlefield. and the administration weighing
