U rounds are not anti personnel you twats.
Well, they're not pro-personnel.
They are when they fuck up even the people firing them.
that is now how it works...
...
Yes, it is. Inhalation of vaporized heavy metals, let alone vaporized heavy metals that emit alpha particles.
Like, putting aside all of the politics of this, that is why birth defects in Iraq are so fucking high. DU is not good stuff, if you care about the people using the weapons long term survival.
oh wow you really have no idea how radiation works on the human body. i am not saying it is good for you but alphas cannot even pierce the skin
... Do you know how lungs work with vaporized materials?
Do you think your lungs have skin?
Do you think Alpha emitting materials are safe to breathe?
do you know how lungs react to bullets? have you heard of the red forest? are you aware that the Russian army used (as with clusters) u rounds from the start?
there is also a difference between birth defects around a localized area and just using u rounds sporadically.
Commenters really proving they're ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. Y'all would happily kill everyone in Ukraine and make it uninhabitable for the chance to hurt Russia. Just cover the country in cluster bombs and uranium so no one can ever live there ever again.
There's only one country's leader in all this that can make a choice that would put a stop to all the death and destruction immediately. Hint: it's the one who decided to start all the death and destruction in the first place.
What's next? Shall we start training Ukrainian suicide bombers?
DU rounds and cluster munitions will make the country unlivable - from a breadbasket to a wasteland.
DU rounds and cluster munitions are already in use in Ukraine, by the Russians. The damage is being done no matter what. So why is it suddenly a problem when it’s the Ukranians, who are desperate for any advantage to keep their country theirs? They’re certainly not happy with having to use methods that damage their land, but they’ve made the decision that it’s a risk they’re willing to take in order to not be annexed by a brutal foreign power.
The video I posted, which got -32 and counting, but which is from, I would say, a reputable source, claims that the UK was not able to produce evidence that Russia was already using Uranium before giving Uranium to Ukraine. (if I remember correctly) But no one F-fing watches it :P
BTW I totally understand Ukraine using them. I am skeptical about others providing them...
