Ukraine asks US for Mk.20 Rockeye cluster bombs

3

The Kyiv regime has a new “I want”. This time, Ukraine requested Mk.20 Rockeye cluster bombs from the US. Prohibited munitions may be included in the new military aid package along with 155mm artillery shells, Reuters reports.

Despite the fact that the United States has not yet made a clear decision on the transfer of cluster munitions to Ukraine in the United States, the likelihood that banned bombs will appear at the disposal of the Ukrainian army is quite high. According to Reuters, official Kyiv appealed to US congressmen with a persistent request to influence the US presidential administration.



At the same time, Washington certainly understands that prohibited ammunition will be used not only against the Russian army, but also against the civilian population. However, the Americans are well aware of the war crimes of the Kyiv regime. And it is unlikely that the fact that Mk.20 cluster bombs are classified as banned will affect the final decision.

Military experts explain the main danger of "cassettes" by the ability to remain on the battlefield for years, if there is no rupture during the reset.

It should be noted that earlier information appeared in the media that Ukraine was receiving banned cluster munitions from Turkey. The United States, for the time being, tried to distance itself from this, pretending that they sacredly honor international law. However, the latest failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the line of contact are capable of erasing this line as well.

    All Ukrainian evil comes from Washington.
    How long will Russia fight not with the cause, but with the effect?

    Excuse me, who banned cluster munitions and when?
    The US, China and, SUDDENLY, Russia (!!!!!) did not sign the convention to ban them.
    As, by the way, and Ukraine.
    So why are we calling them "forbidden"?
    Because their "geyropa" banned them? :)
