From what I have heard both Ukraine and Russia has old cluster munitions with a high dud rate (~ 25%). The ones from US is around 2%. So if US cluster munitions help stop Russia using theirs the long term damage will still be lower. (numbers are not 100% accurate, I might be misremembering)

The US claims the dud rate is around 2%

Do you believe them?
