Large Supplies... What is Biden waiting for?

“Meanwhile, the U.S. has large supplies of cluster munitions, from which the Pentagon could draw if its stocks of regular 155mm shells were to run low, or to augment South Korea’s combat power.

Ukraine has asked for cluster munitions and senior Republican lawmakers have pressed the administration to provide them. U.S. military and defense officials have been sympathetic to Ukraine’s request.

But officials in the White House and State Department have resisted, citing the international opprobrium long attached to the use of cluster munitions. “

“The Current U.S. Cluster Munition Stockpile”

“The report details a stockpile of 5.5 million cluster munitions containing about 728.5 million submunitions”

“This figure, however, does not appear to be a full accounting of cluster munitions available to U.S. forces. In particular, the tally does not include cluster munitions that are part of the War Reserve Stocks for Allies (WRSA).”
