I think Ryan McBeth on his YT channel said the real reason for it.

The cluster munition aren’t that useful for trenches and not useful for offensive when there’s even a small dud rate (it’s not 40% like with Russian cluster bombs, but 2% adds up if you would fire it many times) and you don’t want your own soldiers to be blown up by own munition when they advance.

But, if you take the missile, open it up, you get 88 bombs, that can penetrate 4cm of steel. Strap them to a drone and they can be quite scary. Also since they are fired individually, they don’t hit each other when falling down which is the primary reason for duds.

The crazy thing is that governments would be much better served if they would run government Mastodon instances for government employees and enforce their own policies on them, than using a private company with its own agenda.

I got one and I wasn’t even on Twitter. Also all those people that say Mastodon is hard must have some severe learning disability.

I suspect the real reason is that they are afraid of losing existing followers.
