SMH – Russia is the genocidal aggressor and does whatever the hell it wants, whenever it wants, and Ukraine is the country with the high moral ground, fighting for their lives and land, basically acting as the front line of defense for the rest of all of Europe and they are forced to fight with one arm tied behind their back, beg and plead for weapons and make lengthy reports on weapons it uses on its own damn territory.
I have to hope and assume this is just bureaucratic BS and posturing for public consumption because it completely ass backwards. /rant
I hope we gave them the 105mm cluster munitions for the M119’s as well, or we’re in the process at least.
Vatniks when Russia uses cluster munitions on civilians: “I sleep”
When the Ukrainians use them on Russian soldiers: “REAL SHIT?!”
If they are used on your own soil against a foreign invader (not fellow citizens), I don’t have a problem with these. Yes, it will mean that some civilians with die in the future, but it hopefully also means that many more civilians don’t die in the present due to the invading force.

Was expecting a bit more range, but 30km is not too bad.
