There is no substitute for cluster bombs against armor, and troop concentrations.

Only nukes are as effective.

The CBU-105 is state of the art.

We should just go back to napalm...no duds there...

All that said, cluster bombs work pretty well too. It seems reducing the “dud” rate to about zero should be fairly easy...

Here’s a nice demo:

When ordnance is required, one wants the good stuff.

Watched them in VN. Like a thousand ping pong balls full of nitro. Surpassed by Arc Light raids in the Delta.
