For no reason, a short primer on DPICM ("Steel Rain"), the U.S.' main tube artillery cluster submunition.
M42/M46 DPICM is a small, shaped charge warhead meant to defeat both armor and personnel across a wide area.
The two primary 155mm DPICM rounds are M483A1 (88 individual submunitions, shorter range) and M864 (72 individual submunitions, basebleed for greater range).

Here is Echo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines shooting 155mm DPICM during Summer Firex '18.
GMLRS DPICM for HIMARS and M270 is a bit of a different story.

New from @hntrbrkmedia: Starlink shutdowns are forcing Russian troops even deeper into Ubiquiti’s ecosystem.

We obtained footage showing a Russian soldier, blocked from using Starlink in Ukraine, bragging about the workaround: radio bridges from the American company Ubiquiti.
Starlink terminals had long operated in Russian hands along the front lines, as the company struggled to shut them off without cutting Ukrainian users.

That recently changed: Starlink rolled out a whitelist that blocks all terminals in Ukraine unless formally registered. Image
The result: Russian units abruptly lost a critical layer of battlefield communications.

Almost immediately, at least some Russian soldiers began advertising the fallback—radio antennas and wifi bridges, often made by the American company Ubiquiti. Image

Overnight, Ukraine mounted a drone and missile raid into Russia, successfully hitting a major ammunition storage facility and an oil refinery.

Flamingo cruise missiles hit the GRAU Arsenal at Kotluban, while drones penetrated 1800km of Russian airspace to hit the Ukhta refinery. Image

Belgorod Oblast, a Ukrainian FPV drone strikes a Russian communications antenna.

Notably, it appears to be from the U.S. tech giant Ubiquiti. A recent @hntrbrkmedia investigation found that the company’s equipment was enabling Russia’s battlefield communications network.

NEW from @hntrbrkmedia: Equipment from the US tech giant Ubiquiti is a major enabler of the Russian army in Ukraine.

We spend months infiltrating the Russian military's supply chain, unearthing military documents and other evidence that show how Russia relies on $UI equipment.
A Ukrainian officer estimated ~80% of Russian radio bridges they’ve seen on the front lines are Ubiquiti devices. “There is no alternative,” both Ukrainian and Russian sources independently told us. Image
Hunterbrook’s monthslong investigation found Ubiquiti wireless bridges — banned from export to Russia under U.S. and EU laws, are serving as critical communication nodes for a Starlink and SATCOM-starved Russian military. Image

Multiple European politicians have started to openly call for reciprocal tariffs on the U.S., along with potentially banning U.S. companies from the European market.
More:
“In that case, I would then call on the European Union to activate its anti-coercion instrument, that is to say, reciprocal customs duties and the exclusion of American companies from European public procurement markets”
