BTW, this is the reason why many countries consider cluster munitions illegal. It's not about their effect during the conflict, it's about how long after the conflict these are still a problem. Unfortunately this type of weapons is hard to replace, and so many countries do not partake in the ban. They are just too good at eliminating soft targets, like trucks or infantry caught in the open. This includes countries like the US, Russia, or Ukraine. The latter will require many decades to clean up once the current conflict is over, there are millions or even tens of millions of small mines / bomblets scattered everywhere there had been fighting. They will have to tech children in schools how do common types (like the PFM-1) look like, from a very young age.
