Iranian cluster missiles can split into as many as 80 sub-missiles, hitting multiple targets simultaneously. They’re calling it an unprecedented weapon.

The bigger question: how did Iran even get its hands on such technology

Oh...like a MIRV

No, because MIRV stands for Multiple Independently targeted Reentry Vehicles.

The Iranian weapons that disperse submunitions aren’t releasing them from orbital altitudes and they aren’t independently targeted.
