The US used to have these in our arsenal. They were called SADARM and they were quite nasty. The submunitions could talk to each other so they wouldn’t double task on the same target. And, they could also modify their explosive effect to either frag for soft targets and infantry or they could jet for top armor attack. The Army and Marine Corps lost these munitions due to political in-fighting with the Air Force. The argument was that the SADARM capability crept into the Air Force core mission of tactical air support.

This thing is an unbelievably powered weapon system. About 20 years ago, I saw a "Future Weapons" (show) episode where they showcased some of this technology. It was a cluster munition missile though. It was said to be a "13 stage weapon" It deployed many sub-munitions, that then deployed more, that oscillated, tracked, communicated between each other, and used EFPs as well. It was said to be used to destroy entire armoured columns. However being a cluster munition I dont think it was legal. It was very cool to see brought into the 155MM BONUS system. I think this gives it a great ability to be used on smaller scale and be upscalled as required (fired from a battery of artillery at the time), The only downside i can see is the 35km range but that still is good. One person mentioned putting it on the HIMARS or MRLS. Makes you not want to be inside that tank! If you saw any of the Armenian/Azerbaijan war, they used small drones that targeted enemy armor and towards the mid/end you would see guys refusing to be around vehicles, and super spread out, because they would also bomb groups of soldiers. I cant imagine being in that position.... Fuck war.

I just watched 4 times todays video of masacre near Vuhledar, were brave Ukrainians repeled Russian orcs attack. On one moment was to see arty explosion above 10m sideling over orc tank.... and this after few second started to burn from inside (ammo fire). At first moment i thought it was miss but now im almost sure it was something like BONUS shot.... Orcs lost over 30 IFV and Tanks in just one clash.... great succes !

No they don't. I don't know for sure with THESE here, but the pretty much identical German variant "SmArt 155" does not. Natural dispersion when releasing the Submunitions from the shell case makes sure that they find different target areas on their own. One is in the high speed drag a splitsecond earlier and falls shorter. This is not a shell to target an individual tank anyway. It is fired in dozens, when you know the position of a tank battalion in a certain area.
