Yes there is it is called Taurus, It was designed as the follow up of the multi despencer units of the Tornado and there are also other submunition types like runway cratering, anti tnk.
So wait... If there were tanks from the windows, all the way to the walls, you're telling me that this thing would just SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET and take them all out?
I say the headline is an exaggeration: being able to destroy 40 tanks (let alone 1 tank) at once. It appears the nature of the cluster bomb is to kill small targets, like humans, rather than heavily armored vehicles and tanks.
Geneva Convention predates cluster bombs. Cluster bombs fall under the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), one of the parties who did not sign was the United States.
This looks very similar to the SMART artillery used in Europe since the late 1980's. In the video (00:38) you're talking about precision targeting but all the targets onscreen looked untouched, let alone knocked out.
@@rakheem351 Normal cluster rounds use shrapnel against soft skinned targets and personnel. This video is about destroying groups of tanks. Shrapnel would just bounce of a tank. These type of bombs use targeted shaped HEAT rounds aimed against the thinner armour on the top of each tank. It shows quite clearly at 00:38 that each round misses it's target (you can see the explosions on the ground near to the various targets) and that the tank sits there untouched.
@@mikebikekite1 again buddy you must not know how sensitive that equipment on that tank is damage is damage those are effectively knocked out they wouldn’t show them missing to prove a point dose t have to be a direct heat
@@rakheem351 These types of cluster bombs do NOT use shrapnel against tanks. They use a shaped charge that explodes in the air and then fires molten metal at high speed towards the top of the tank to penetrate the hull (an EFP). You can see examples of BONUS rounds on YT hitting Russian tanks in Ukraine. These are very similar weapons and the effect is VERY obvious. It’s also very clear in the video at 00:38 that the vehicles are not being damaged by anything. It’s just ironic that the narrator is talking about the precision of the weapon at that point while the weapons are hitting anything but their targets.
Not every spot on top of a tank is weak, right? You have the sides of turret and above engine that is weak, so you could disable the tank, but the crew goes back, and fights again. The fpv drones seem to disable tanks just as well. The good thing is cbu105 in artillery barrages!
Everyone saying fpv drones but how many can they rapidly strike? Plus this was made in the 80s but who am I. Everyone went from virologist to human rights lawyers to military experts in the latest few years.
During the Gulf War I was an 11H (Tank Destroyer) with the 01st ABN and it was the Air Force that pounded the Iraqi military back to the Stone Age, they could wipe out entire tank divisions in one night which they did when an Iraqi Division was rolling against us right before the ground phase kicked off. The devastation they left was mind boggling.
I heard this weapon referred to by a USAF pilot as the "weapon of 13 consecutive miracles" on a Modern Marvels program. It is responsible for halting the Iraqi column leaving Kuwait in Bush War 1. After the CBU105 disabled all the vehicles, the rest of the USAF was unleashed. 2-mile long path of destruction.
The dispenser is GPS guided and releases the skeets over an area. When the individual skeets disperse, they deploy a parachute and rocket motor to slow their descent while also imparting a sort of wobble to the munition itself. The wobble allows the munition's internal seeker to scan a conical shaped area beneath it. It scans using infrared to detect engine heat and then also scans "visually" using a pattern matching algorithm to try and maximize accuracy while also avoiding friendly fire. Once both seekers agree that there's a valid target in range, the skeet detonates its shaped charge and the blast creates a jet of molten copper that can burn through quite a lot of armor.
You are welcome ! Invented Brigade Rain cluster bomb (auto or programmed) in mid-1980s, and given to Ronnie Reagan. CBU and ATACMs based upon this missile/rocket.
Regardless I think our department of defense should continue to build and produce these much needed weapons especially given the wars in Ukraine and Israel.
Our 🇺🇲 .gov has no other constitutional duty besides defense. If you think weapons are expensive try losing WW1, WW2, WW3, WW4.....As for me i'll just stay on the winning team🇺🇲 🤘
@klardfarkus3891 it wouldn't surprise me if they did get them after they get more f-16s in the air. But I'm quite certain we proved they work when we used them on saddam's fourth largest army in the world.
Too expensive. In Ukraine war we have seen that quantity is the key for victory. You can afford 100 rounds when you need them by thousands. Weapon you cant use due to the price tag is useless. Nice toy though..
explosively formed penetrator, once it impacts it concentrates to a thin jet of molten metal that can penetrate tank armor and cause devastation on anything inside, "the skeet fires copper explosively formed penetrators which impact on top of the target. A shrapnel ring released along with it causes damage around the target."

Now imagine it as a glide bomb for longer standoff range with sheath characteristics
I think there’s already an ER version with fold out wings

ummmmm....YES. 😅
In the Iraq war, a single B1 bomber dropping the CBU-105 stopped the entire Iraqi armor division
Oh no it didn't, otherwise we could have saved a ground offensive.
@@jimpickering4599 Al-Kafgi-Saudi
Negative. B-1's were not utilized in the Iraq War. That was a B-52.

@@dennisluz6453 Those are tank killers,like SMART or Bonus.
the greatest effect when applied at a railway junction
Not only a cluster> but having each bomb going to different targets
I thought cluster munitions were now outlawed under the Geneva Convention? Or is that just the delayed fuse anti-personnel type?

Nope.

Do you not know what shrapnel is just because you can’t see damage doesn’t mean it’s not there lol
Also it’s not supposed to be flashy it’s supposed to do maximum damage for minimal collateral damage

I had NO IDEA that these acted like a MERVE when released.
And this is a weapon we know about..... think of all weapons we have no idea exists.

Great weapon, but how much does each bomb cost?
Less than a tank
6:21
More than fpv drones uses in Ukraine.

So does each skeet have its own guidance or just the skeet launcher?
Each skeet!

Because, more advanced/expensive weapons is the key to how America wins wars, like they did in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
Emh...U.S. Lost both in Vietnam and Afganistan... what are talking about?
@Tiziotozio01-cz1nd sarcasm.
Best money the department of defense ever spent too !
40 tanks destroyed with one? What are they parked a parking lot? Even direct hits from anti tank guns and artillery don’t always destroy tanks.
You are welcome ! Invented Brigade Rain cluster bomb (auto or programmed) in mid-1980s, and given to Ronnie Reagan. CBU and ATACMs based upon this missile/rocket.
Looks like some bang snaps thrown over the tanks ...
Can the Russians even put 40 tanks in one place these days?
I have a hard time seeing how this will slice through the engine blocks and connecting rods of vehicles, armored or not.
"Tanks but no tanks."
Regardless I think our department of defense should continue to build and produce these much needed weapons especially given the wars in Ukraine and Israel.
2:35 that's a Tomahawk not a CBU.
Field test this in Ukraine.
I wonder how this compares to some cheap fpv drones strapped with shaped charge warheads? 😂
Exactly! Not enough money in that business for US defense contractors!
They didn't have those in the late 80s when this was developed.
I always trust mainstream media 'news' consultants when it comes to specifications of military hardware. Don't you?
Are you trying to insinuate this is "mainstream"?
MLRS/TGSM does the same thing
40 tanks at once ? Bullshit. It didn't even hit any of the targets in the video.
Ain’t they banned ?
Not by the US. They refused to sign the treaty. China and Russia didn’t sign it either
Putin doesn't seem to think so. He used cluster on civilians.
Nope
I thought that the United nations would not allow the use of cluster munitions? Just like not being able to use chemical gas agents.
40 tanks? Exaggeration!
How so?
👍👍👍👍

Why don't they test a bunch on Russian equipment, great testing grounds for any equipment
Someone in a back street factory in China using a foot pedal machine, has just made one.
Don’t send it to Ukraine! The Russians can’t get that many tanks together in one spot.
Ukraine is doing the same thing with $500 drones,
i se no destroyed thanks here
I do see a lot of misses…..

They do not destroy the VEHICLE, they put an explosively formed projectile through a heat source; typically the engine.
"International controversy over the use of the weapon". Did you mean whining by those that got smoked by it?
😅😅😅
Like seriously this is amazing! If only se spent as much money on curing cancer and feeding homeless and securing our borders….
I cant imagine that those small spinning things can disable a tank - light units yes but not a tank
