 The United States announced on July 8 that it will send Ukraine cluster munitions, prohibited by more than 100 countries, as part of an $800 million security package, a move Ukraine said would have an extraordinary psycho-emotional impact on Russian forces. Cluster munitions typically release large numbers of smaller bomblets that can kill indiscriminately over a wide area. Those that fail to explode pose a danger for decades after a conflict ends. Cell footage by the US Defense Ministry showed an airdropped cluster bombs. The ones issues by the US to Ukraine will be artillery shells. The security assistance package announced by the Pentagon included cluster munitions fired by Howitzer cannons as well as 31 additional Howitzer cannons, additional munitions for Patriot air defenses and anti-tank weapons. Ukraine has earlier received artillery systems including the NATO standard 155 mm French Caesar and Polish Krabhowitzers and 227 mm artillery rockets fired by the US. MadeM270 and Hamar's Launchers
