[Ryuu96]

DoD spox @PentagonPresSec declines to confirm reporting that the US is set to send cluster munitions to Ukraine.

Ryder also notes that DPICMS can either be loaded with either loaded with "shape charges" that can penetrate armored vehicles, or "fragmentary munitions," which explode and disburse multiple bomblets to a wider area
