It is widely known that the United Kingdom, as part of its January military aid package, has decided to donate 14 Challenger 2 and 30 tank AS90 to Ukraine. However, it turns out that there is besides a supply of ammunition with impoverished uranium. This information was provided on Monday, in consequence to a question from a associate of the home of Lords, Deputy Minister of defence Annabelle Goldie. As she said, specified missiles are "exceptionally effective in combating modern tanks and armored vehicles". As we can see, the Anglo-Saxons openly escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
Information on British plans was published on Parliament's websites. On Tuesday it was made public by Ukrainian media. Of course, she immediately met the Kremlin's acute reaction. "Today it turned out that the United Kingdom, through its Deputy Minister of Defense, announced not only the transportation of tanks to Ukraine, but besides missiles with impoverished uranium. It seems that the West has truly decided to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian not in words, but in deeds." According to Russia's leader, erstwhile the West starts utilizing atomic weapons, “Russia will gotta respond.” Thus, we can anticipate Russia to usage even tactical atomic weapons in specified a situation.
Polish media and commentators mostly ignore the harmfulness of ammunition with depleted uranium, indicating its conventional nature. It's manipulation or deliberate deception. The effects of utilizing specified ammunition are described in item in many technological studies, including Polish ones. 1 of them is an article by Tadeusz Kasperek of the Naval Academy entitled "The extremist Effects of the usage of Munitions with impoverished uranium" (Scientific Reports of the Naval Academy of the year XLVII NR 3 (166) 2006. The author writes: “The bullets with impoverished uranium (238U) were utilized in wars in the erstwhile Yugoslavia and Iraq. They pose a serious threat to the wellness and life of persons having direct contact with the remains of their explosion. Typical symptoms are radiation effects, which express morbid changes in the body, origin harm to irradiated genes and origin degeneration in their offspring.”
As the author points out, the harmfulness of depleted uranium for humans is due to the effects of alpha (α) particles after absorption of uranium into the body by inhalation and food and beta (β) radiation in the event of direct contact. Therefore, their recognition and so the diagnosis of the origin of the crucial morbidity of people who have resided in the area of the usage of specified missiles are highly difficult. erstwhile studies have shown that the effects of human vulnerability to atomic radiation (α, γ, γ) include neurological disorders, kidney stones and kidney pains, rashes, impaired vision, skin cancers, sexual failure, traces of uranium in sperm, and congenital defects in irradiated offspring (body deformations).
Summing up the usage of depleted uranium ammunition means radioactive contamination of the site, which poses a real threat to the wellness and life of all those who are in contact with the remains of the explosion. Their usage in Ukrainian theatre of combat will mean the full degradation of the area of combat. In specified a case, the territories of present-day east Ukraine will turn into decades of uninhabitable desert. And even with the optimistic presumption that the usage of ammunition with impoverished uranium would not be met with an adequate reaction from the Russian side.
Either way, we see clearly that the Anglo-Saxons are willing to sacrifice our part of the planet in order to implement their global strategies. And not just in a metaphorical or political sense. due to the fact that in the event of an atomic conflict with Russia, the US, and even partially the United Kingdom, with modern defensive weapons they will be able to halt part of the Russian atomic counterattack. However, continental Europe, in peculiar its central and east parts, will not have the least chance. The conclusion is gloomy: since the end of the Cold War, humanity has not been as close to creating the atomic apocalypse as today. The only precedence is how far the red line will go in the West. I hope not 1 step besides far.
