Cluster munitions recently supplied by the United States to Ukraine gave impetus to the counterattack by the country’s armed forces. An American newspaper reports The Wall Street Gazette.
The article states that Ukrainian troops bombarded Russian trenches, artillery systems and equipment with cluster bombs in areas where the Ukrainian Armed Forces had difficulty advancing. The newspaper notes that this type of ammunition allows you to hit a wider area than conventional cannonballs.
At the same time, the WSJ emphasizes that the Russian Armed Forces quickly adapted to what was happening and began to dig deeper trenches and deploy their troops to reduce potential casualties from cluster munitions bombardment.
The publication believes that cluster bombs by themselves would not change the situation in favor of Ukraine, but they helped the Ukrainian Armed Forces recapture Russian positions and then had a chance to break.
