The Russian Defense Ministry reported on experiments in the English laboratory Porton Down

41
The UK is implementing a new generation poisoning agent program launched in Western Europe as early as the 1970s, said Igor Kirillov, Head of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection (RCBP) troops at the Russian Ministry of Defense, at a briefing at the Foreign Ministry for foreign diplomats.

According to him, the development and research of toxic substances is carried out by the laboratory Porton-Down, located "by luck" a few kilometers from Salisbury.



The Russian Defense Ministry reported on experiments in the English laboratory Porton Down


He noted that Porton Down is a top-secret facility that officially deals with the disposal of old samples, as well as conducting experiments under the pretext of developing protective measures against chemical and biological weapons.

In addition, he drew attention to the fact that it was the United Kingdom that was the developer who patented the “production of organophosphorous toxic substances like VX” in 1962.

Kirillov also added that Novice gas, which in the UK was allegedly poisoned by the ex-GRU officer Sergei Skripal, can be created on special equipment using a published formula.

He recalled that in 2008, Vilém Mirzayanov, who immigrated to the US, published the book State Secrets, Insider Chronicles on the Russian chemical weapons program, which published the formula for the substance that the UK calls Beginner, and also describes in detail the synthesis of this substance.

      probably then, so that in the future American biological centers would appear at the Russian borders, which even local regulatory authorities would not allow, not to mention international organizations. Not surprisingly, the calm reaction of Russia to these laboratories in Kazakhstan, Georgia and Ukraine contributes to a further exacerbation of the situation.
      It is not difficult to predict that the next step will be the US refusal to destroy chemical weapons and the actual withdrawal from the agreement on the prohibition of chemical and bacteriological weapons.

        Chemical weapons are one to two orders of magnitude more expensive than nuclear weapons per one disabled enemy. You can protect yourself from chemical weapons (gas mask and jumpsuit), but not against nuclear weapons.

        In addition, as Vladimir Uglev from Volsk, one of the developers of Soviet chemical weapons, said yesterday, binary chemical weapons are a myth. Until the ban on the development and production of chemical weapons in 1997, not a single country in the world (including the United States) was able to transfer workable ammunition equipped with two precursors to the troops, which, when mixed, forms an organophosphorus neuroparalytic compound.

        Therefore, the troops received ammunition with ready-made prefabricated BWs of type VX prefabricated, stockpiles of which by the end of the 1990s had reached several thousand tons. Binary OVs (Soviet "newcomers" and foreign analogues) did not become BOVs; they were accumulated in a few kilograms of three hundred modifications that were produced and stored in laboratory conditions.

          It can be concluded that chemical weapons are practically useless to destroy the enemy’s manpower (military), but it’s going well against the civilian population, because it is defenseless.
          T.O. it is only needed to clean the territory from the population.

            The most effective neural-paralytic weapon of the VX type is not even suitable for cleaning up the territory, since it is too resistant (up to a year at negative air temperature) - it will be necessary to be in protective overalls and a gas mask around the clock, and remove them every time only after decontamination that in practice is impossible.

            Whether it’s a tactical thermonuclear munition with a capacity of 100 kt during an air blast at an altitude of 1,5 km - radiation zero, destruction and fires maximum.

          I don’t know where you got such calculations.
          First, what is meant by opponents? Chemical weapons are primarily weapons of mass destruction, i.e. actually genocide. And by opponents we mean the people of entire states.
          Secondly, a common myth about possible protection against chem. weapons with a jumpsuit or gas mask. It's just that everyone forgets to indicate in the calculations that the gas mask filter is designed for only 30 minutes, and different nozzles are required for different types of OM. It is not difficult to calculate how much stock is required for military units, not to mention civilian ones.
          There was a case when smoke occurred on our command post, there was no opportunity to switch to the ZKP, and no one has the right to cancel combat duty. Only in 1 day, the KP’s reduced combat crew consumed all brigade supplies of insulating gas masks, then an order came for permission to open the NZ, and it was destroyed in just 2 days.

    I was always amazed at such “coincidences.” The base, or rather the chemical laboratory for the development and destruction of chemical agents, are located near the place where the chemical weapons are used. And given that they are not relatives, Russian diplomats cannot get to Yulia Skripal, the coincidences turn into facts.

    By the way, the word Dawn in English means DOWN, and the name of the place Porton downlocated near the village Porton can be translated into Russian as Lower Porton (similar to our names, such as Lower Vishera).

    Research in the field of XO is one thing. Possession of it in commodity quantities, when it becomes a weapon and is in the arsenal of the armed forces, is completely different.

    The Slovak states that many countries have it. I said that England officially removed from service and destroyed its chemical weapons 10-12 years ago. Can you give an example that this is not so? Work is being done by everyone, including us. It is foolish to think that this is not so. But until the work has reached the stage of industrial production and adoption, this is a completely different matter. The number of publications may not even be 200, but 2000. This does not change anything.

    Why did we destroy our chemical weapons ahead of schedule, and are now outraged by the fact that the Americans still haven’t destroyed them and say they’ve got us suckers? It is stupidity that can only be explained. By law, we had the right, but decided to make a broad gesture .... But who really stood behind the adoption of this decision - we really do not know.

    If a chemical warfare agent had been used, the number of corpses, namely corpses, and not just injured would have been many times greater. And then the subject himself suffered, his daughter and EMNIP another 8 people in the restaurant. The rest are healthy.

        Look, there may be such logic:
        1) 4 January 2016, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) announced the complete destruction of chemical weapons in Syria.
        2) 27 September 2017 years of the Russian Federation completely destroyed all its chemical weapons.
        3) The 70-percent threshold of the destroyed US CW crossed over in February 2010. The United States plans to complete the destruction of its arsenal by the 2023 year.
        4) 2 countries (Iraq, Libya) have not yet destroyed their chemical weapons.
        5) Abandoned and old chemical weapons. The weapons left were in China, Italy and Panama. Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the United States officially announced in the OPCW that there is an old chemical weapon in their territories;
        6) Suppose that Russian intelligence repeatedly received information in 2016 / 17 / 18 about the upcoming provocations with chemical weapons in Syria, which the United States was preparing to accuse Assad and Russia of its use (a known fact). Our and Syrian chemical weapons are destroyed, but in the USA and in the above countries it is. Then the British threw the Skripals poisoning - and again, "Russia is to blame." But they do not succeed, there is no evidence, since Russia, having destroyed its chemical weapons in Syria, knocked out their evidence base. All the rest of the CW remaining in the world is located in territories not controlled by Russia, such as Iraq and Libya, and there the Americans are in charge - they are the organizers of the provocations - the circle has closed! good

    In the fact of destruction? Nothing wrong. Worse is another. At present, our destruction of chemical weapons (ahead of schedule) and not the destruction of them by the Americans for propaganda purposes is being used as an example of the United States' lack of maturity. Say we destroyed, but they are not yet. We are good, white and fluffy and they are the embodiment of evil on earth.
    But the same Russia signed the Wyoming Memorandum, according to which there was an agreement with the United States, if necessary, not to completely destroy its own chemical weapons, but to leave a certain percentage of it before other countries possessing similar weapons do not destroy it. We decided to carry out the "five-year plan in four years." The Americans so far are acting in accordance with the same memorandum, additionally coordinating the terms of destruction with us. But we continue to blame them for their observance of the contract to the last comma.
    I do not see the point of such accusations. We could save XO until a certain time.
    And now many VO writers are just talking. Look, we destroyed, but they are not. It is necessary for their thermonuclear bomb ...
    Everyone understands that there was a provocation, the meaning of which is also clear. And the same T. May herself “carved” herself, after listening to her advisers and those who made this report. The same "Novice" has already ceased to be only Soviet. Now, having a formula and power, anyone can synthesize it

    And sometimes we all fall into one pile. And not the destruction of XO by the Americans, and the provocation in England. Moreover, even in the person of Zakharova from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we sometimes admit such mistakes, which is scary to say. We begin to assert that this never happened, that we did not have such a program, and that these were exceptional machinations of the West. Intrigues with provocation - yes, but to deny the obvious that such a BOV was developed in the USSR is stupid.

    I answered your question ??
