How To Spot Bullshishka: RuZZia's Cluster Bombs

*******
Putin's defence minister issues chilling bomb threat: 'Our decision may be reviewed' (msn.com)

Vladimir Putin’s pawns have again threatened to use cluster bombs in Ukraine in response to US supplies of the globally banned weapons.

The president has previously boasted of having a ‘sufficient stockpile’, stressing a readiness to deploy them.

His defence minister Sergei Shoigu said in a speech earlier today that the Kremlin has refrained from doing so out of ‘humanitarian’ concerns.

*******

Riiiiight.

So RuZZia, after using cluster munitions against civilian targets, all of a sudden has stopped using them out of "humanitarian" concerns. Uh huh.

Just like the "goodwill gesture" in abandoning the assault on Kyiv back in 2022.

Or the "goodwill gesture" in abandoning Kherson, only to continually shell civilian targets in the city.

Right. We all know what a "humanitarian concern" looks like to RuZZia. Basically anything that RuZZia can't do becomes a "goodwill gesture."

sUfFiCiEnT sToCkPiLe

Meanwhile, PooTin brags about having a sUfFiCiEnT sToCkPiLe of cluster munitions ready to be used.

Quite frankly, that is 100% Bullshishka.

First of all, RuZZian artillery is well known for being MUCH more numerous but less accurate than their Ukrainian counterparts. So it's not like RuZZia gives a Brandon about precision and husbandry.

Second, with Ukraine making slow but steady gains in their counteroffensive, RuZZia could use their sUfFiCiEnT sToCkPiLe of cluster munitions right now.

Third, RuZZia has never been shy about using thermobaric weapons to clear wide areas of "pesky" Ukrainian defenders. Cluster munitions could be used in a similar manner.

So the only conclusion that makes sense is that RuZZia does NOT have a sufficient stockpile of cluster munitions.

Either that, or their cluster munitions are so unreliable that they can't even be used as a way to scatter makeshift mines at their target.

Conclusion: Ukraine is making VERY good use of Western cluster munitions, and RuZZia can't keep up. Hence RuZZia is left making idle threats, as usual.
