Now we need to bring back DPICM (Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition) ammunition because politicians decided that it was “too scary”. The Russians, of course, did not ban their DPICM munitions.

Interesting, hadn’t heard this previously. Back in the Stone Age when I went to FA Officer Basic, this was a favorite/preferred selection in the call for fire on certain targets. Never got to see it fired since it was expensive round. The LANCE missile system I eventually was assigned to had an HE round that was a cluster munition for area soft targets. My battery commander got to see it fired at White Sands and described it as very impressive.
