4)Iraq. Prior to 2003, Iraq produced and imported cluster munitions. This included joint development with Yugoslavia of the M87 Orkan (known in Iraq as Ababil) surface-to-surface rocket with submunitions.
Insofar it can be determined the program never made to operational stage, although sources are in conflict on this matter. Some production facilities were established in Iraq, a certain amount of rockets and perhaps a couple of launchers were delivered by Yugoslavia, but it appears it was not mass produced and issued to units.
Some of the technology and production capability went into this, but I am not sure if such a weapon would fit the game parameters

Insofar it can be determined they were unitary warheads types.

Some DPCM rounds for 152mm Giatsint may have been available, but the gun is not in the game and it might not be worth putting it in given the shortage of weapon slots. A large variety of aviation bombs were available but again weapon slots are scarce.
