In the Pochepsky district (Bryansk region), the destruction of Russia's largest arsenal of chemical weapons has been completed, reports Look With reference to the Federal Office for the Safe Destruction and Storage of Chemical weapons.



“Today (October 8) a solemn event will be held at the Pochep chemical weapons storage and disposal facility in the Bryansk region to mark the complete completion of the destruction of chemical weapons,” the release said.

"Last aviation the bomb was destroyed at the facility on September 26th. In total, since the plant began operating in 2010 at the Pochep facility, more than 67 thousand chemical aviation ammunition containing nearly 7,5 thousand tons of toxic substances such as sarin, soman and Vi-ex substances has been neutralized »- told the press service.

It is noted that "in the Pochepsky district social infrastructure facilities were built for 1,6 billion rubles, thousands of jobs were created by 2."

Decontamination of factory equipment and rehabilitation of the land on which the ammunition was stored will take place in the near future. Then, the issue of reprofiling the industrial site for civilian production will be decided.

According to the department, "by October of this year, 92% of the available reserves of chemical warfare agents had been destroyed in Russia." Next year, the destruction of chemical weapons will continue at the Kizner facility in Udmurtia. This is the last such enterprise in the Russian Federation.

    Well, one "ulcer" has become less, but how much more work on restoration and reclamation will be required?

      A very long time this gimmick for the destruction of chem. weapons. Several times they tried to curtail the project, but thank God this did not happen and the planned destruction was realized to the end. As a resident of the Bryansk region, this program was far from indifferent to me.

      This ulcer with other no less dangerous ulcers, for many years now they have been protecting us from the war.

        We had this "ulcer" IN VIOLATION of international agreements, like everyone else. Moreover, now it is more dangerous for us, since the storage periods have already been exceeded and it still needed to be destroyed.

      The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an arms control agreement that prohibits the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. Its full name is the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and Their Destruction.

      The main obligation of the convention, imposed on its participants, is a ban on the production and use of chemical weapons, as well as the destruction of all its stocks. All destruction activities are controlled by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). By July 2010, about 60% of all chemical weapons stockpiles were destroyed [5]. The Convention also provides for the systematic monitoring of chemical production facilities, as well as investigations into allegations of the production and use of chemical weapons.
      By August 2010, 188 states are parties to this convention and 2 more countries have signed, but have not yet ratified it

      Russia has ratified.

        I absolutely don't care who ratified what and what, you, my naive friend, seriously think that the Americans and others like them, exceptional ones, will observe what they once signed up to. Or you didn’t learn the lessons of the 90s, when "peace-friendship-gum", and our new friends-partners almost let us around the world, we still cannot wake up. When they come to burn my house and kill me and my family, I absolutely don't give a damn about how to answer them, with an ax or dichlorvos or a nuclear bomb, but I would like it with dignity - high-tech, and not be a Papuan on someone else's safari. The Americans, exactly along the perimeter of Russia, are building and already operating chemical and biological laboratories - what do you think this is for?
        Old XO certainly need to be deactivated, because it will pose a threat to us, and a new one, even more deadly, must be developed and put into service - secretly, without any poster, or there will be nothing to surprise the adversary. And since we are not going to attack anyone, then our XO will not harm anyone. There have already been a million agreements of all kinds with us, and where are these agreements? I remember from history, one such agreement cost us 20 +++++ millions of our lives.

          Dear, it is quite possible to quickly make those OM that were stored in these arsenals using modern capacities of the chemical industry. What is now being studied in very closed laboratories is much more toxic and, accordingly, requires less production to cause comparable harm.
          The main thing is not to yell about "zrada". People work, trying not to go beyond the signed contracts.

      here .. really is our main partners? if memory serves, then Iraq and the Kurds in 1991 they poisoned the VX with a bang. I am not against the destruction of chemical weapons when there is nuclear, but I would like for the overseas to do the same.

      probably not, why is it. if there is a nuclear

        Well, the entry of a chemical warhead with soman or V-gases into New York for example, can cause mortality comparable to a nuclear charge.
        And biological weapons are more likely a third-strike weapon after nuclear and chemical ones, since the infrastructure will be destroyed, therefore it will be difficult to find a medicine and mortality will increase.
        Logically, the order of use and purpose of the weapon would be as follows.
        1. Nuclear weapons strike mines of ballistic missiles, military bases, airfields with strategic bombers, naval bases, large factories for the production of weapons, storage bases, large cities and megacities.
        2. Chemical weapons strike in medium-sized cities with a population of less than 500 thousand people, urban-type villages, villages, large livestock farms.
        3. Biological weapons to strike large agricultural fields in order to infect cultivated areas, and thus cause infection.

          somehow you painted everything too apocalyptically
          in fact, everything was different - chemical weapons, although it worked in the First World War, were local but they had not yet invented gas masks
          after that they didn’t even use it, during the Second World War I didn’t even hear about it
          and biological weapons - also locally, more for sabotage, in a big nuclear war it will be nothing - nothing affecting anything
          the Japanese tried to use weapons in WWII, but somehow without much success

    In addition to chemical weapons, so many other types have appeared and are being implemented that they do more harm than good. In modern warfare, the use of chemical. weapons are highly impractical. It can only be used by frostbitten beards, and those with "To the Heroes of Fat!"

    No, of course they did the right thing to eliminate this crap. Maybe now the gas masks will be canceled and the fighter will breathe easier? wink But that's just a joke. And how much infection is still in the world ... who knows for sure? I remember the 90s. Do you remember the famous rolling blackouts of enterprises from electricity? So that's when the Kurchatov Institute was shut down. Clever Velikhov then spoke on the radio and warned that he had only 2 weeks of fuel for the operation of mobile power stations. After that, it may burst and half of Moscow will not. They say reactors will turn into a vigorous bomb. True, he promised to warn the population in 3 days. And after 2 days the director of another "modest" institute spoke and said about the same thing, only not half of Moscow will be gone, but half the world will not. Because he has various small viruses, bacteria and other invisible little things in his refrigerators that can break free. And you can't forbid all this.

    The last 20 years, binary poisonous substances have been popular. Separate production of their components is legal and until they mix chemical weapons with each other, it will not work. And highly toxic toxic substances with expired storage must be disposed of without question.
