That was a pinpoint strike and a massive secondary, not a cluster.
No evidence of artillery beforehand, no evidence of concurrent cluster detonations, no subsequent hits. Probably a GPS round.
DPICM is 16x more effective at creating casualties.

So I heard you have this giant hogweed problem in your backgarden right? I think I might have a quick solution, just hear me out….
Dug a fire pit, cut wood for the fire, burned the wood. Vlad was the roasted marshmallow.
Not a cluster munition.
that was either a big big bomb or an ammo dump, because, dang, that was a big boom.
That is a” Thermobaric Explosion” . you can tell by the Fire ball , the pressure wave , the trees flattened in a circle in a uniform outward direction , and no crater. A cluster munition causes a small air burst followed by multiple small explosions on the ground.
Hot damn
In the beginning of the video you can clearly see it’s a dual Grad MLRS site. Ammo dump was stored next to the launchers because yawn, lazy. Cluster munitions by themselves are no guarantee of taking out a grad. Destroying the ammo dump 5 meters next to one of the Grad’s, obviously yes. Is it possible it was both a cluster munition and storm shadow? No, they wouldn’t send both simultaneously. Therefore, a lucky hit on an ammo depot with a cluster munition only.

What cluster munition?
It was a non-clustered cluster munition….
