    The orcs

    sigh You know its going to be an informed take when we whip out LotR references.

    The US quitting these munitions has much to do with the type of warfare they engaged in

      I see plenty of comparisons between the Russian army and the armies of isengard. Just look at what the land looks like when they arrive, how they treat their own and their enemies, their regard for the lives of their own. You might not like it, but if the shoe fits.

      DPICM works plenty. But if you are fighting an insurgency, every last piece of unexploded ordenance is a direct issue. So the US don’t want to use them.

      When fighting meate wave attacks in barren and desolate Hellscapes that are already littered with UXO… what is a few more? On the flip side, a group of 15 vatniks with no armor or only a bmp to keep them alive will not fare well against DPICM. So let the Ukranians decide if they want to use the DPICM.
