@Grosis @atheist_from_lv Against civilians, probably. Very effective against troops on the battlefield, the bad aspect is unexploded bomblets found by children and other civilians. Destroying the Russian convoys is an existential issue, so yes, napalm and cluster bombs should be used. Clean up after

@juriskazha @atheist_from_lv Convoy can be destroyed by more civilized means than cluster bombs

@Grosis @atheist_from_lv Nothing is civilized in war. Ukraine should repeat of the Highway of Death against the Russians where US and other airforces destroyed hundreds of Iraqi vehicles with cluster munitions: https://t.co/eeS4fzZ8Qf

@juriskazha @atheist_from_lv It does not mean you have to become the monster you are fighting against... Everyone can make choices to be a hero or to be a villain... its a choice.... russian army chose one way... I root for Ukrainians to chose the high route and lead by example! Slava Ukraine

@Grosis @atheist_from_lv So how do you deal with the exposed convoy bringing troops, ammunition and weapons to kill Ukrainians and seize Kyiv? Small arms? Grenade launchers from the woods? Expensive Javelins against trucks that cost 1/3 as much as a rocket?

@juriskazha @atheist_from_lv with regular bombs... you just bomb them... planes have bombs, drones have bombs...

@Grosis @atheist_from_lv Not much difference, in fact, large general purpose bombs (1000kg) are probably more lethal and will "cook off" ammunition trucks and scatter the unexploded bigger munitions like artillery rounds all around. But unexploded CBU bomblets are dangerous to kids.

@Grosis @atheist_from_lv The point is, the exposed convoy is a chance to do what war is all about, to kill the largest number of enemy and destroy enemy equipment at the least cost to yourself. In a defensive war, killing many invaders is how you win. Invading is another story.

@Grosis @atheist_from_lv And I am not really a military expert, just have read a lot of military history. Ar labu nakti for now, writing in English to have this discussion before a larger audience.

@juriskazha @atheist_from_lv I agree that such opportunities should be taken but you should not become the monster you are fighting.... cluster bombs and napalm is not the only explosive available. While fighting war it is tempting to use whatever you can but you must keep your integrity!
