"The West decided to fight for the last Ukrainian": Putin about the supply of the Armed Forces of ammunition with depleted Uranus

Thus, during a meeting with China's leader, Putin commented on the UK's decision - to transfer special armor -piercing shells to Ukraine, which contain impoverished uranium and which are highly efficiency in the defeat of modern tanks and armored vehicles. "It seems that the West really decided to fight with Russia to the last Ukrainian not in words, but in fact. The Russian Federation will be forced to respond," Putin said.

Drunken Urani projectiles are standard ammunition used in many countries and showing more efficiency of heavy armored equipment than conventional armor -piercing and sub -caliber shells. Also, impoverished uranium is used as an intermediate layer in armor tanks and fighting machines. Despite the fact that ammunition contains a depleted uranium, which refers to the nuclear materials of level II nuclear materials, shells with its contents have nothing to do with nuclear weapons.

The experience of two wars in Iraq has shown that most Soviet tanks did not withstand this type of projectile. In Russia, they were stated that they are harmful to the environment and human health, but the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation already use such shells in the battlefield in Ukraine, and the Armed Forces have even seized several of them like trophies. In addition, experts insist - this is a safe technology that has been used for a very long time.

We will remind that today, March 21, Deputy Minister of Defense Anabel Goldi, in response to a written request of one of the members of the House of Lord, reported that the government of UK will transfer special armor -piercing shells containing depleted uranium within military assistance to Ukraine. The depleted uranium is twice as dense than the lead, and it is used in the manufacture of armor -piercing ammunition, as well as to increase the stability of armor of military equipment.
