Cluster bombs: How they work and why they're so deadly - TomoNews

Описание: The cluster bomb is a deadly explosive that is banned many countries but despite this, it's still used by militaries around the world.

Earlier this month, Russia and Syria were accused of using them in the Syrian civil war.

After being dropped from an aircraft cluster bombs open in mid-air and drop hundreds of bomblets over an area as large as a football field, causing immense destruction.

The bomblets however also known as submunitions, sometimes fail to explode on impact and become a danger to civilian populations.

Similar to landmines, unexploded submunitions threaten the lives of those living in war-torn countries.
