Small nuclear explosion, major radioactive poisoning event
The only military use for DU is defeating tank armor. That begs a question, what was the point? I haven't read anything about tank battles in country 404 so far, Russians are basically using tanks for mobile medium range artillery. And there is still the possibility of parts of Poland and Germany being poisoned.
And, whatever your opinion of hohos might be, the British should know better than to be participating in anything like this.
You’re Low IQ. VERY LOW.
are you joking?
The radioactivity of freshly prepared DU is only about 60% the radioactivity of natural uranium as DU has less of the more radioactive isotopes U-234 and U-235 per mass unit than natural Uranium
he Royal Society study suggested that one in 1,000 soldiers who had had a large intake - ie been in a tank that was attacked with a depleted uranium missile - will die of lung cancer as a direct result of the radioactivity. (This compares to a lifetime risk of fatal lung cancer in the general population of about one in 250 for non-smokers. That means if 1,000 non-smokers are exposed to depleted uranium in heavy doses, five would die of lung cancer - rather than four if none had been exposed.)
And you are just a total a hole i simply asked if you were related to a fellow freeper
