The head of the RKhBZ troops of the RF Armed Forces spoke about the consequences of the use of ammunition with depleted uranium in Ukraine

The Russian political and military leadership continues to harshly criticize the UK's decision to supply Kyiv with depleted uranium munitions. While in the West the use of such projectiles is called "common business", in Russia their use is compared to a "dirty nuclear bomb".

Today, at a briefing about the dangerous consequences of the use of uranium munitions, one of the most competent specialists in this matter, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops (RCBZ) of the RF Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, spoke about the dangerous consequences.

The lieutenant general stressed that the choice of date makes the statement of the Deputy Minister of Defense of Great Britain on the supply of shells of this type to the Armed Forces of Ukraine particularly cynical. It was on March 24, 1999 that the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began, where the alliance used, among other things, ammunition with depleted uranium. After that, in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, an increase in the number of oncological diseases by 25% is noted.

The head of the RKhBZ troops recalled that this type of ammunition is used in military conflicts exclusively by NATO countries. In addition to Yugoslavia, the United States used depleted uranium munitions during the 2003-2004 Iraq war, dropping at least 300 tons of such bombs on cities in that country. According to the Iraqi government, in 2005 the incidence of cancer in the country increased from 40 to 1 cases per 600 of the population, which was a direct result of the US use of depleted uranium munitions.

Kirillov told how uranium-filled ammunition works. As a result of the impact of such a projectile or bomb, a mobile fine cloud of uranium-238 aerosol and its oxides is formed, which, if it enters the body, can later provoke the development of serious pathologies, primarily of an oncological nature.

The main radiation hazard from depleted uranium occurs when it enters the body in the form of dust.

- said the head of the RHBZ.

In addition to the long-term effects on human health, uranium compounds are deposited in the soil, which poses a serious danger to animals and crops for a long time. At the same time, according to a 1994 study by the US Army Environmental Policy Institute, technologies to reduce the toxicity of depleted uranium do not exist, and cleaning up the soil in the area where depleted uranium munitions are used is "extremely difficult." From the war zone, radioactive particles that have fallen into the soil will be carried over vast areas by ground and surface waters and in the form of dirt sticking to the wheels of cars. All this is well known in the West, Kirillov stressed.

In addition to infecting its own population, this will cause enormous economic damage to the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine, primarily crop and livestock production, bringing down any export of agricultural products from the territory of Ukraine for many decades, if not centuries, in the future.

- warned the head of the RHBZ of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Oh well

According to information from open sources, the Russian army has the latest type of ammunition 3BM60 "Lead-2", the core of which is made of the so-called Material-B, as army circles call the alloy of depleted uranium with tungsten.
Such a projectile is capable of penetrating 800-830 mm of armor at a distance of 2 kilometers. For comparison, the "Lead-1991" developed at the end of 1 based on a tungsten carbide core penetrates armor of 700-740 mm at the same distance.
Under such armament, in particular, the Russian modernized tank T-80BVM is adapted.

In the fight against shells with uranium cores, there is a main problem - not to reach out to yourself.

American journalist: Transfer of shells with depleted uranium to Ukraine brings the world closer to nuclear war
probably these shells were already used in the NWO.

Nonsense. Didn't apply. No one in the world will use them on their own land.
Small-shaven treat Ukraine as Yugoslavia, Iraq.

[KCA]

In Russia, there are shells with depleted uranium, no one denies, but can you tell me where they were used, except for field tests? They themselves gave a quote about the use, and not about the presence

Do you think all these modern shells have been put aside and are not used in NWO? Especially considering that the echelons with equipment of the 50s have already rolled towards the front.

Does Russia also have nuclear weapons, is it also used? Developed, and even put into service - does not mean that it is in the troops, not to mention the application.

We compared nuclear weapons and shells with depleted uranium, completely different things in scale. The Russian Federation uses everything except nuclear weapons, since nuclear weapons are the end of the game for humanity.

[KCA]

What targets in the SVO require the use of uranium scrap and cannot be destroyed by standard crowbars or cumulative projectiles? Leo A7 and Abrams A6 are already crowding our tanks and there are no other means of dealing with them?

[kakvastam]

Oh well

Russian is not native, forgivable.
Having and using are not the same thing.
Or with Hiroshima, too, "well, well"?

[Argon]

The decision to use these munitions is due exclusively right now, when it became clear that these territories would go to pro-Russian Ukraine or Russia! So the contamination of the territory is like revenge!

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Yes, the beginning of the application is the recognition of territories by strangers.
In accordance with the principle "Do not eat, so I will bite."

[tralflot1832]

And what kind of bomb with depleted uranium, who knows?

[DMFalke]

It seems to be a "dirty" bomb, but there is a nuance ... for one to become dirty, it must be stuck into the ground along with the plane, and preferably in afterburner. The only way in Yugoslavia and apparently flew. And F117 was not shot down, but he himself "carried out bombing" in this way

Nope, depleted uranium is absolutely not suitable for a dirty bomb. After all, natural uranium itself is low-radiation and you can work with it even with your bare hands. Only what kind of respirator to wear because of its toxicity. And depleted uranium is natural uranium from which highly radioactive isotopes were taken out, from which the radiation from it became even much less.

[novel66]

dropping at least 300 tons of such bombs on the cities of this country.

He's delirious, and that's it, General!! Where are we going????

Yes, this is a typical General of Parquet) He only knows about rkhbz and military affairs from films, that they wrote something on a piece of paper and reads it. It’s good that speech writers didn’t write to him about uranium grenades

[Vladimir_2U]

In the nineties, based on the BLU-109 / B product, the BLU-116 / B bomb was developed. For her, an updated case was created from a more durable alloy based on nickel and depleted uranium. While maintaining the same mass and wall thickness, such a body made it possible to break through up to 3,4 m of reinforced concrete and then undermine the bunker. The warhead of the new type could be used both in the form of an unguided bomb and on adjustable ammunition.

Depleted uranium is a “category II nuclear material, and there is no document in the UN that would restrict or prohibit its use. In 2010, the British newspaper The Independent published a study by Ulster University professor Chris Busby, which said that the impact on nature and the environment from the use of uranium munitions is "worse than Hiroshima."

[fax66]

Again heaps of comments, statements, fears, accusations, clarifications, etc. and so on. from experts, military, politicians, correspondents, scientists (and not so much) .... Everyone understands about the danger and threats, but no one focuses on the fact that in the case of the use of "uranium" BP, it is the Russian territory that will be infected (which again attached - LDNR, Zaporozhye, Kherson region), and this is mostly agricultural land. And this, perhaps, in terms of consequences is not easier than Chernobyl ....
And if this happens, then no "compensation, payments, indexation and programs" will help ..... I.e. Are we losing these lands (and people)?
We're drawing red lines again and there's nothing we can do to prevent this?

[Klaus8691]

Yes, we are not already drawing red lines, but steps. And that's different, I guess. Nothing is done with the supplies, they deliver regularly. I'm not an expert, but maybe some sabotage should already be carried out. Are there really no trained people? If they don’t want to bomb or it doesn’t work.

[carpenter]

Quote: fax66

but no one draws attention to the fact that in the case of the use of "uranium" BP, it will be the Russian territory that will be infected (which is the newly annexed LDNR, Zaporozhye, Kherson region)

The Anglo-Saxons did not need the land of the territory of Iraq and Yugoslavia, they only needed to establish their power over it, the people of these countries do not care how they live in these territories, so now they do not care about the people of the Lao PDR of Russia and the territory where these people live , they only need to destroy Russia, its people by any means, including nuclear weapons (it will come to this soon, the first stone has already been thrown by the Britons).

It’s not good to suggest this, but if you can use ammunition with depleted uranium, then spraying finely dispersed depleted uranium over neutral waters may be acceptable, taking into account the wind rose.
Insolent people love smog, let them think about radioactive smog.

PS Maybe it would be worth keeping silent, but the idea that came to one head will still come to others.

Chief of the RHBZ Troops ? Bombs with depleted uranium? Tell me the practical meaning of such a bomb. Or do they have bombs of a different system and fly straight down at a speed of one and a half kilometers per second?

I think this boss thinks that depleted uranium shells make a small nuclear explosion and so penetrate the tank. With such an installation, why not be bombs?

Min Zdrav warns! Laughter! These clowns in uniforms clearly did not notice that they would be used not in Ukraine but on the territory of Russia, which the guarantor swore to protect and prevent!

[Esaul]

It's time to decide, gentlemen, either to give up, or to go to the end with all seriousness, crushing everyone in its path by all means, including strategic nuclear forces. NATO will not let Russia win at any cost, this is a no brainer. The pressure will only increase, in the end, the one who strikes with all his might first will win.

They say if you read comments before replying to them. That will make life much better.

[Mishka78]

What kind of crap is the head of the RKhBZ troops carrying.
All the countries that possessed nuclear weapons began to make these cores back in the 60s.
Moreover, unlike tungsten, they are almost free, because. waste from the production of nuclear weapons and fuel for reactors (which is depleted uranium) accumulated in warehouses immeasurably.
This uranium does not have any excess radiation, no terrible consequences after the mass use of such shells by amers in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Syria are unknown to modern science and medicine. Conspiracy theorists, of course, make money on this, but nothing of this has been confirmed by any serious research.
At present, such projectiles are in service with both NATO and Russia, the use of these munitions is not prohibited by any conventions, and such products cannot be attributed to the class of "weapons with a nuclear component."
However, it is possible that we have learned at least a little something from our dear partners, and all this nonsense is being broadcast in the media to provoke a negative reaction from society to the use of this type of weapon. Like - ay-yai-yai, poor children, they will be poisoned with radiation by the damned NATO members.
Well, from the same absurd area that Assad poisoned his citizens with chemistry.

True, I have reasonable doubts that threats in the style of "Russia will be forced to respond to this" will be implemented. Well, do not consider the usual expressions of concern and the drawing of regular red lines instead of long-forgotten ones as a reaction.

And that's for sure military management?
Apparently, the only battles available to them are verbal. Beyond good and evil.

Let's get a look. How many of those Challengers, 28? BK 52 shots to the gun.
Let's say they clogged, only with uranium crowbars. 1456 crowbars. Even if they shot 2 ammo each and there are no losses, it is still not critical. It must also be recalled that this scrap is fonite by Alpha, that is, its sawdust must be swallowed.
Yes, it's unpleasant, yes, it's dangerous, but this is war...

Warn London that the answer is Westmister depleted uranium caliber so it grows better.... Who in the west will hear him The head of the RKhBZ troops, oh, he is trying for us so that we do not breathe uranium dust ....

[AdAstra]

You first hit the Supreme Rada with your caliber, and then you talk about Westminster.

[Boniface]

Good slide - infographic, you need to read carefully

[Ratibor_A]

Explode a nuclear bomb in the atmosphere over Britain so that there is no victim, but a slight radiation contamination, even just promise it and confirm the intention with deed and immediately the ardor of the Britons will cool down ...

[Simple]

The British generally don't give a damn about the consequences of blowing up a "challenger" with a full BC. scrap uranium or detonation of ammunition in a Russian tank from the hit of one "scrap" of their depleted uranium somewhere in the Donbas - this is not from the earth.
The supply of these ammunition should have serious consequences for the population of England - as they say - do not spit in the well.
