That’s a Soviet anti-tank bomb ПТАБ-2,5-1,5.

Looks almost like a piece of a cluster munition, but im pretty hazy on my munitions identification these days

It is indeed a cluster munition, they were used in clusters of 48 pieces.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are they deactivated?

These ones were all live. We used them as payloads for drones.
