Cluster bombs, the name is enough to make you feel infinitely powerful, and today I will take you to uncover its mysteries.
A cluster bomb is a type of artillery shell filled with multiple small bombs, and its construction can be described as a genius idea.
Inside the cluster bomb there were several dozen small bombs, which were cleverly placed in a round shell. At the end is its propulsion system, which contains a large amount of propulsion fuel. The fuel ignites when fired, propelling the cluster munition to fly quickly towards the target.
The cluster bombs also contained 88 M42 grenades at the ends, the bottom of which was designed to be missed, allowing for easy stacking. To fire, the cluster bomb needs to be placed on the howitzer carriage and then the string is pulled to trigger the fuse to fire the shell.
A shell can be launched at a distance of 24 km, and with its own booster, it can last another 30 km. When the warhead reaches its destination, the warhead is hit, the cluster bomb casing disintegrates, and the 88 grenades inside are released. These grenades automatically detach and detonate the grenade during free fall, and the shrapnel of the bomb flies in all directions, hitting the enemy.
The power of cluster munitions is incomparably powerful, and it can be said to be extremely lethal. But at the same time, it also brings great security risks. Hopefully the world will never need such a **.
