Civilization.

This is coolbert:

Here for the novitiate some You Tube Shorts explaining the technology some of the various weaponry as used by the combatants the Ukraine Conflict:



"A cluster munition is a form of air-dropped or ground-launched explosive weapon that releases or ejects smaller submunitions. Commonly, this is a cluster bomb that ejects explosive bomblets that are designed to kill personnel and destroy vehicles."



"The AHEAD ammunition (Advanced Hit efficiency and destruction, improved hit effectiveness and destruction) . . . is also called KETF ammunition designated. kinetic energy time fuze, time-ignited ammunition of kinetic energy “), which describes how the ammunition works." German Gepard anti-aircraft weapon system in use by the Ukrainian firing AHEAD rounds with effectiveness against kamikaze combat drones.


American ATACMS now being used by the Ukrainian and delivering a DPICM round: "A dual-purpose improved conventional munition (DPICM) is an artillery or surface-to-surface missile warhead designed to burst into submunitions at an optimum altitude and distance from the desired target for dense area coverage. The submunitions use both shaped charges for the anti-armor role, and fragmentation for the antipersonnel role, hence the nomenclature 'dual-purpose'."
