'''Cluster Bombs''' are a type of military weapon primarily used because of their effectiveness against tanks and large areas. All cluster weapons consist of two primary elements: a container or dispenser; and sub munitions, often called bomblets. These bombs can be dropped from medium to high altitude.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2001/cluster_bomb/</ref> Although cluster bombs can cover large areas they do not have the procession guidance that other bombs have, this is why cluster bombs are known as "dumb bombs". Although cluster bombs have some drawbacks, military officials state that they are necessary and needed. <ref>http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/090800-02.htm</ref>.
