Saudi's used CBU-105 in Yemen in 2015. It looks like a CBU/87 loadout was added but was likely meant to be CBU-105. First text picture of the F-15SA carrying 10. Sipri says the weapons were procured in 2014-2015.The two videos are definitely CBU-105, as you can see the parachute deployed munitions and casings. CBU-103's don't have parachutes but dump like normal cluster bombs. Update #4884, #2780 load-outs.
Agree the CBU/87 was probably a mistake or an erroneous copy-over. I've modified those loadouts to represent the CBU-105, killing two birds with one stone for 495.
