To my knowledge Neither USA, Russia or Ukraine are signed up to that treaty.Interesting, didn’t think cluster munitions were permitted anymore.
I think you will find that what you’re seeing is in fact Putin#3 touring his old stomping groundsPrigozhin back in Russia after supposedly being banned and exiled by "strongman" Putin

As far as I'm aware that's the main one covering the use of cluster munitions. There may be others that cover their use that I'm unaware of though.![]()
Convention on Cluster Munitions - Wikipedia

So are far as this conflict is concerned, frowned upon but fair game.
M26 bomblet rockets for the m270 MLRS are also classed as cluster munitions, and are perfect for saturation of trenchesI'm not sure why they want these, unless it's "comparable" to the aerosol MLRS systems the Russians are using.

As woppy101 alluded to the M26a1 rockets fired by the MLRS/HIMARS platform would be the most likely choice if USA are planning to supply.The issue is that it needs dropping from a plane and they're not a really a stand off/glide munition.

From Wall Street journal: the White House is very close to approving sending both ATACMS missiles and cluster munition weapons to Ukraine
The sooner the better. Maybe and that is maybe if they get the ruskies killed by a bucket load they will start realising that it is not the best idea to join the war in a foreign country. Now they only make videos that they weren't paid for a few months...pathetic nation.Only 4 months to reach F16 type approval! how many months have these 2 pilots been training? Opps they are ready now.

your not wrong, in GW1 people were caught playing cricket with the unexploded bomblets not knowing what they were, as nobody had much of a clue what was in the rocket as they were brand new to the British army, that’s first hand info as well as my best mate was a launcher operator in GW1. The Iraqis used to call it black rain, as they would see the rocket go over the top of them and then celebrate thinking it had missed, the way they work is they peel like a banana at a predetermined time in flight to then hit the correct target areaThough if you looking into it deeper, there are a lot of reports from previous conflicts that suggest the self destructing feature isnt 100% reliable.
