This is the very thing that you really want to be familiar with the weapons:

What is a bunch ammo? Bunch weapons, additionally called group bombs, are canisters that convey tens to many more modest bomblets, otherwise called submunitions. The canisters tear open at a recommended level, contingent on the region of the expected objective, and the bomblets inside spread out over that area. They are melded by a clock to detonate nearer to or on the ground, spreading shrapnel that is intended to kill troops or take out heavily clad vehicles like tanks.

What sort of bunch bomb is the US supposed to be providing for Ukraine? The US has a reserve of group weapons known as DPICMs, or double reason worked on traditional weapons, that it no longer purposes in the wake of deliberately getting rid of them in 2016. The bomblets in a DPICM have molded charges that, while striking a tank or reinforced vehicle, "make a metallic stream that punctures metallic protective layer," as per an article on the US Armed force's eArmor site.

The unexploded weapons can then be exploded by regular citizen movement years or even many years after the fact.
