BREAKING NEWS - Turkey agrees to let Sweden join NATO:

Turkey backs Sweden's Nato membership

The Nato chief says President Erdogan will drop opposition to Sweden becoming the alliance's 32nd member.

www.bbc.com

Earlier today, Erdogan had said he would let Sweden join NATO if the EU started talks to admit Turkey to the Union. Seems like something has broken the log-jam. This is great news, IMHO.

I wonder what 'pound of flesh' Erdogan got in return for getting out of the way?

Regarding cluster munitions. Rumor says that Turkey has been discreetly delivering cluster ammo to Ukraine.

 

[Admiral Beez]

Since cluster munitions have been shunned / banned why do so many countries still have them ?

Until precision GPS guided weapons were available much of NATO used cluster munitions. It was the best way to destroy formations of tanks, IFVs and dug-in infantry - as the Russians are about to find out.

For example, cluster bombs were a regular armament for the RAF's Harrier force in Europe until they were retired in 2007 when more effective weapons were available.
