Depleted uranium munitions do not explode. They are kinetic energy weapons.
Exactly. But the big boggety-boogety is the word uranium. Dat uranium is radioacteev. Radioacteev is bad. Nukes is evil.
These armchair idiots have no clue what they are talking about. The metal is very dense. Thus it's very good for use for anti-armor rounds.
But...it's uranium ya know.
Polish science?
They do fragment into dust and give off alpha particles that are extreme deadly when inhaled.
Oh, Gawd, what a F**ing idiot. Only enriched (the opposite of depleted) can explode. And, you don’t have to fire it at armor to get it to do that.
I just went to UtUbe and told the guy that he was an idiot. And he is.
Dont go sneaking around the T-90s that got wasted yesterday. The active battlefield is the only place it can be found.
Complete BS. Depleted is depleted, been used for years. Take your ax grinding nonsense elsewhere.
“country 404”
Sigh.. Another idiotic vanity post.
“give off alpha particles that are extreme deadly when inhaled”
Ok, then you probably shouldn’t go around snorting lines of depleted uranium.
You are aware that the site was a Soviet site, and aware that the Russians, who took it over, may have stored some of there DU rounds there?
Ukraine does not store either fuel or ammo in dumps.
That’s a big ask.
Maybe we’ll now start reading that those who are fully up to date with their booster vaxxes, will suffer no ill effects from exposure to depleted uranium.
The Russian trolls are everywhere including right here on FR
“It’s DEPLEATED.”
So are my pants.
No. Not even close. Please read up on how nuclear weapons work and get back to us.
About what I’d expect from one of Biden’s boyz
The Soviets went away in 1991.
It’s a toxic heavy metal.
But yes, not radioactive.
Yes jonjon your history is very acute today, but their crap remained behind.
