The destruction of the Russian chemical weapons is coming to an end

Russian facilities for the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles started to destroy them after the end of the planned maintenance work carried out from the third decade of December, when the Federal Directorate for the Safe Storage and Destruction of Chemical weapons fulfilled ahead of time the state defense order 2013 of the year. Interfax-AVN reported about this with reference to the head of the Federal Directorate for the safe storage and destruction of chemical weapons, Colonel-General Valery Kapashin.

According to him, at the facility in the village of Leonidovka of the Penza region this year will continue the destruction of ammunition of complex construction. The same types of ammunition, containing not only poisonous, but also explosives, will be destroyed at the facility in the village of Mirny, Kirov Region. Both of these objects destroyed the stockpile of their arsenals of chemical weapons by 99% and are close to completing the task.

“Two other facilities that have destroyed toxic substances at 100% are currently conducting preparations for decommissioning. This is a federal state-owned enterprise (former facility) "Gorny" in the Saratov region and the object "Kambarka" in the Udmurt Republic, "- said the journalists. According to them, the remaining facilities will start the destruction of chemical weapons as needed: the Pochep object in the Bryansk region from February 1, the Shchuchye object in the Kurgan region from March 1 and the Kizner object in the Udmurt Republic from April 1.

“As of 20 in January, 2014 was destroyed in Russia, about 78% of chemical weapons stocks, which is 31 thousand tons. It remains to destroy less than 9 thousand tons.

    Kind! I personally agree that chemistry must be destroyed! Store expensive, and no one needs it now! Add to this the behavior of toxic substances over a long time and possible reactions - it is better to dispose!

        I think in the modern age of genetic engineering, the army does not need 100 thousand tons of modern chemical weapons, just one test tube and all the enemy armies will die out like flies. It's another matter that no one will guarantee their own security.

        I am glad that the majority understands the danger of storing CW primarily for ourselves. When destroying, the main thing is tight control so that God forbid someone does not spioneril for their own use.

      Well, they destroy that old weapon that is dangerous during long-term storage. Do you really seriously believe that the same Americans abandoned it!? In the 70s, they were engaged in safe storage in the form of binary ammunition and put it on their own stream.

      Vigorous bombs are also expensive to store. This is a deterrent. We cut medium-range missiles, I won’t speak thanks to whom, and now NATO rushing to our borders. BRDZK, rockets from sharks also sawed. It remains to destroy the chemistry, and everything can be taken warm .....

        In the presence of nuclear weapons, it makes no sense to store and produce much more dangerous "in everyday life" (especially for old types of ammunition) and much less controlled weapons. Therefore, they get rid of it.

        Yes, the fact of the matter is that there is nothing.

        Our nuclear strategic complexes are not represented not only by medium-range missiles and BZHRK. So it's up to "warm" so far as to Mars.

    All this is good and healthy, but there are still many problems with the chemical weapons that were flooded in the seas (Black, Baltic, Barents, how to deal with this? And yet, it is still not known how many chemical weapons were buried in the ranges of central Russia. Who Will he look for him? Take, for example, a landfill in the Kuzminsky forest park of Moscow.

      US fighter makes emergency landing at Lithuanian base

      The US F-15C Eagle fighter, performing a NATO air police mission in the Baltic countries, made an emergency landing at the Lithuanian Air Force base in Siauliai. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic.

      The incident occurred on Friday, January 24, during training flights. The plane landed successfully, without any consequences. The cause of the emergency landing was a technical malfunction. “The implementation of the NATO air police mission was not violated,” the department noted.

      Representatives of the US Air Force began patrolling the airspace of the Baltic states in early January 2014. The US military replaced the Belgians guarding the skies of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from 1 September. Their mission will last four months.

      NATO countries have been sending their military contingents and aviation to the Baltic states since March 2004. This is due to the fact that the republics that are members of the alliance do not have the military equipment necessary for patrolling.

    Gentlemen, do not forget that it is only Russia that is destroying its chemical weapons stockpiles. And the mattress covers are storing everything new (binary) of the last generation. Just in case, apparently. Of course, this is a barbaric weapon and it is necessary to get rid of it, but it is necessary to somehow demand that everyone else do it. Otherwise, this is some kind of wiring. stop

      The United States as of July 1, 2010 destroyed 75 percent of the total stockpiles of chemical weapons, according to DefPro. We are talking about the disposal of 22958 tons of toxic substances and 2,1 million shells. The United States crossed the 70 percent threshold in February 2010. At the time of the beginning of liquidation in the first half of the 1990s, chemical weapons in the United States amounted to 31,5 thousand tons.

      Under US law and the country's obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, the US must destroy 90 percent of the 1993 declared chemical munitions by April 2012. Earlier it was reported that the United States plans to take two breaks in the process of destruction of chemical weapons - from 2012 to 2015 and from 2017 to 2018. During these periods, it is planned to build factories for the disposal of chemical weapons near the warehouses of Pueblo and Blue Grasse.

    Good all the time of day !!! hi

    I would like, as in that joke:

    Russia and the United States completed the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. All. Now everybody has zeros.
    We signed the protocols, sealed with state seals ... That's all ...

    And here Obama speaks quietly in Putin’s ear:
    - You know, Vladimir, but I deceived you. Even your GRU didn't help. We have three more "Minutemen" in the secret mines in Nevada! So Russia is not yours now, but mine ...
    Putin became sad and began to think how it would be softer to tell everyone. Here, from behind Sands, he whispers to him:
    - Vladimir Vladimirovich, there is an emergency ... Here in Siberia, Colonel Ivanov forgot to take out the missile division drunk from the taiga ... This is a disaster !!! What shall we say to the Americans now?
    And Putin tells him:
    - First of all, not a colonel, but a colonel general! And secondly: as long as Russia exists - IT IS UNBEATABLE.

    It would not be bad to part with chemistry and bacteria. Very expensive and not safe storage and protection. Warehouses with weapons explode, and if an emergency situation in a warehouse with such weapons? In the end, there are no less effective means, the contents of which are less dangerous and cheaper.

      then, for example, in Gorny, for example, barrels stupidly decayed and it was impossible to take them to the war (possible) at all, they scattered on the spot, there were a lot of leaks into the ground. Therefore, we had to destroy them, in any case it is no longer a weapon - more precisely, against us. ..

    In 1993, in Paris, UN member states opened for signature the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the production and stockpiling of many chemicals. The "Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction" (CWC) entered into force on April 29, 1997 for 87 States Parties (another 22 countries ratified the Convention within 180 days of its entry into force).

      According to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), in total, the countries possessing chemical weapons have eliminated more than half of all declared stocks. The OPCW includes 188 countries of the world, including Russia, the USA, Albania, India and Libya. The "Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons" was signed but not ratified by Israel and Myanmar. Angola, Egypt, North Korea, Syria and Somalia are not members of the convention.
