Most cluster munition is probally from the cold war and in an active conflict there really isnt a possibility to safely detonate leftover cluster munition. Plus they get buried under debry and dirt
Ah, that's a great point - I hadn't considered that we'd still be using the same cluster bombs that were made in the Cold War era, but that does make sense.
