Chinese expert: Moscow's intentions to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus are London's response to its readiness to supply uranium munitions to Ukraine

The desire of the West to pump up Ukraine with more and more new weapons of various types does not go unanswered by Russia.
As noted by the Chinese edition of Global Times, London's recent statement about its intention to supply Kiev with depleted uranium shells did not go unanswered by Moscow, which warned the US, the EU and Britain itself about the consequences of such actions.

On March 25 of this year, the Russian president announced plans to deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on the territory of Belarus. weapons. According to Qu Heng, a researcher at the Center for Russian Studies at East China University, this statement was a direct response to London's decision to supply ammunition with depleted uranium, and a response to the entire West, which is increasingly drawn into events in Ukraine.



The Chinese expert noted that such decisions by Western countries create a negative precedent, since the use of depleted uranium ammunition is banned in many countries. These weapons affect the health of the civilian population for many years to come. Earlier, documents appeared on the network that regulated the handling of depleted uranium (DU) ammunition by NATO soldiers. Despite numerous statements by NATO functionaries and Western politicians that BDUs do not cause any harm to human health after their use, the NATO documents themselves ordered their own servicemen not to be in the area of ​​the affected objects for a certain time - at least until dust settles from high uranium concentration.

By announcing plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus, Russia is signaling to Washington, Brussels and London that their further intervention in the conflict in Ukraine will not remain without Moscow's opposition, Qu Heng believes.

Cui also noted that Washington's reaction to the Russian president's statement was very restrained, which indicates his unwillingness to irritate Moscow.

    Well, they caught the British on the supply of weapons "with a nuclear component." And now, on legal grounds, Belarus can be included in the club of nuclear powers. I personally "for". Let all sorts of Poles no longer lick their lips at the last socialist republic. I hope that if the "dad" uses something without arguing. Belarus will immediately gain weight on the world stage. Now London and Washington also need to take into account the opinion of Grygorych. They put a hedgehog in their pants!

          Already the question of the radioactivity and toxicity of uranium has been chewed here repeatedly, but there are those who again begin to ask stupid questions and play know-it-alls. Apparently it is difficult to get out of a binge, and knowledge of chemistry, physics and biology at their junction is not their forte.
          Strontium is also not very radioactive if anything, but for some reason after Chernobyl they started talking about it. Comparing dispersed uranium and salts of radioactive metals found in watches, well, this is the height of sanity! It's like comparing fluorography with nuclear contamination! fool

            Uncle, you are probably very smart, but strontium-90 is "not very radioactive" because it emits beta radiation, i.e. electrons, from which you can cover yourself with ordinary clothes. And after Chernobyl, they started talking about it because a huge amount of strontium-90 got into the environment, and, as you probably know, strontium in the body is chemically similar to calcium, therefore it is easily deposited in the bones and from there it emits electrons in all directions, irradiating the bone marrow, with all the consequences.
            Well, how about without numbers?
            The activity of 1 g of strontium-90 is 5,1 TBq.
            The activity of 1 g of uranium-238 is 12.5 kBq.
            Well, which of them is "not very radioactive" ??!

              After reading any numbers on the internet, you still need to know what is behind them, and not like a monkey with glasses - it seems like she put them on her eyes, but she didn’t learn to read.

                No, uncle. Paper will only save you from alpha. Helium nuclei hit painfully, but very close, and are easily absorbed by almost anything. Something more serious is needed from the beta, but there are enough clothes. But from both, just a sufficient distance and lack of contact with the skin and mucous membranes, protection of the respiratory and digestive organs (respirator, gas mask) will save.
                So how many times more active is strontium-90 than uranium-238? I didn’t pull your tongue, you yourself dragged strontium into a conversation about depleted uranium.
                Want another math puzzle? How many hits do you need to make with uranium sub-caliber ammunition in order to shoot at least one billionth part of Chernobyl at the radioactive contamination of the area? For reference: the power of release of strontium-90 during the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was 8-10 PBq.

Is connected precisely with depleted uranium? Oncology, in your opinion, is caused only by radiation? And lymphomas, and sarcomas, and melanomas - everything is from depleted uranium?

          If so smart, did you even hold a dosimeter in your hands? Do you know how it works? What is the difference between alpha, beta and gamma radiation? What are the effects of radiation on living organisms? When the study of these issues is left behind, move on to the question of the effect of uranium rods on armor, what is the pyrophoric effect, and finally the effect of heavy metal oxides on the environment. After that, the cons will stop worrying you.
          Oh yes, we still need to study the cumulative effects of pollutants on the environment.
          PS I hope you have not tried to grow food at the test site where uranium cores were tested? wassat
          My suggestion: all products grown in the places where such ammunition is used must be bought by Europe without fail, and it must be consumed for its intended purpose! They are completely safe! wassat

      I have no doubt that the Supreme informed Xi about this decision even before the official announcement and received tacit approval, but what's wrong? The United States has filled its military bases with nuclear weapons and does not even inform the government of those countries, and then their sixes raise a squeal. The decision is quite symmetrical and justified, such Russophobe hawks as Poland and the Baltic states will be erased in 5 minutes.

        China, as always, is reserved, but it doesn't look like approval:

        China opposes nuclear war and believes that the Ukrainian conflict should be resolved through diplomacy. So the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, responded to a request to comment on Russia's decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Sina reports.

      "Are you sick?" (Brother 2). Having SNF, it is not difficult to punish anyone in Europe. And tactical nuclear weapons are just a joke to save strategic nuclear weapons from the great powers. Suddenly, to punish the United States, Russia will need all 1500 warheads of strategic nuclear weapons. request Will they be even scarier in Kaliningrad? fool Kindergarten.

      You see, I am for science and logic, I don't give a damn about propaganda sobs about a "dirty bomb". Why? Because the "dirty bomb" is useless and impossible bullshit. I explain:
      1. In order to create a real radioactive contamination of an area like a small town, it is necessary to collect an appropriate amount of radioactive material with sufficient activity in one place and stuff a bomb, rocket, etc. with it.
      2. A simple calculation shows that some very evil and active isotope will have to be chosen, since to cover the required area (town) with the required level of radioactivity, low-activity isotopes are not suitable, because otherwise the bomb will turn out to be absolutely cyclopean in size, and there will be a problem with delivery.
      3. If, nevertheless, it is possible to collect the amount of evil and active isotope necessary for the town, to fit it into a bomb of sane dimensions, then it will turn out that due to the monstrous radioactivity of the "filling", it is simply impossible to work with this bomb! Technology breaks down and people die quickly.
      4. Let's make a thick lead shell for the bomb, so that at least you can approach it!
      5. Well, how are we going to launch it now??

    That's an asymmetric answer ... it's hard to come up with an asymmetric one. British uranium shells, if supplied, will be used on Russian territory. And our tactical nuclear weapons will not be used in Belarus, at all. The British do not care at all about such castling. And this is probably only to the advantage of Washington, because. potentially allows to expand the territory of American TNW deployment in Europe (primarily Poland).

    the use of depleted uranium ammunition is banned in many countries

    Excuse me, how?? Do potential victims of aggression (against whom uranium munitions will be used) forbid the aggressor to use them?

    Nonsense, complete.
    And I'll even tell you why.
    Because sub-caliber with depleted uranium will still be delivered - this is, in practice, the most effective and modern core. And they will put it, and, for sure, it will be used. As well as everything that has been delivered to this day.
    But whether we will use our tactical nuclear weapons in response is a question.

      The answer is definitely not. Nuclear weapons can, hypothetically, be used only in Poland (the use of strategic nuclear weapons by the first Russia in London is nonsense of the mentally ill or teenagers). But the Polish arms hub could have been destroyed without nuclear weapons, and Russia is not ready for such an escalation.

    Amusing human stupidity. Poisons have been known to mankind since time immemorial. And handling them is quite worked out. How did it go from time immemorial? If you need to get rid of the poison, reduce its effect to zero, you need to let it go to the wind, or pour it into the water. And stay away from this place for a while. Oxygen neutralizes any poison if given full access, that is, dissolve the poison in free water, or release fine dust into the air.
    You read recommendations about radioactive contamination, and you are amazed. After all, scientists wrote! Educated military! All as one stupid as a wall. Radioactivity cannot be reduced by combining a radioactive substance with oxygen) It is pointless to wait until the substance becomes a harmless oxide. It won't.)
    Only time can neutralize radioactive fallout. Moreover, this time is usually calculated in tens of thousands of years (for relatively harmless isotopes), if we are not talking about short-lived isotopes or secondary radiation, that is, about uranium itself. You can appear at the site of impact of a uranium-core projectile in a hundred years, and if you step on a piece of uranium that remains in the tread of your sole, you will die as soon as if you were in this place ten minutes after the shot.
    Problems of defeat by radioactive substances are fundamentally different from problems with poisons. What is absolutely not visible in the frankly stupid recommendations) Of course, there is a way to dispose of radioactive waste. It's not used anywhere, but it's there. Waste must be collected and transported to spent uranium mines) Just everything. Waste will continue to be harmful, but the danger from it will be the same as it was from time immemorial. As for me, an excellent result.
    In general, the use of a projectile with uranium is a crime against humanity. No more, no less. And the time that all those who use it should receive should be comparable to the half-life of uranium 238. That is, 4,5 billion years. That's how long you have to wait for the danger from these uranium pieces to be reduced by half.
