Hello everyone,
I'm looking for information on this submunition found in Yemen. I'm thinking of an American version,based on the marking.
In advance thank you and good weekend

Looks like DPICM (Artillery or MLRS) submunition, but there's no "M8310A2" that I know of. Supposed M number WAY out of sequence

It doesn't look U.S. The fuzing section is different and the body is different where the fuze attaches.

In my opinion I would look towards South Africa ....

That was my idea too, but I found nothing (yet).

And why not a Chinese version, as the following models look pretty similar to the photo: ZH-39 or ZP39A?

It's South African as far as I can tell. I can't say which carrier projectile it is from, as there are a few candidates.

A couple of South African carrier projectile images, one sectioned with very similar submunitions visible, are below.
