Type-90 cluster munition

The Type-90, also known as the MZD-2, is a Chinese submunition used in the 122 mm Type-81 cluster rocket. It is made by Norinco. Type-81 rockets with Type-90 submunitions were used by Hezbollah against Israel in the 2006 Lebanon War,[1] and they have been used in the Syrian Civil War as bombs dropped by weaponized Hezbollah quadcopters.[2]

Each Type-90 resembles a small cylindrical bell with a ribbon at one end. A plastic band full of 3mm steel spheres wraps horizontally around the middle of the cylinder. Inside is an armor-piercing shaped charge.[1] Each Type-81 rocket contains 39 Type-90 submunitions.
