Ukrainian war in 1402 and the dangers of using prohibited weapons

Mehr News, International Group: Last year, as the Ukraine crisis entered the second year of the war, unconventional weapons And mass killings also started from the West, centered on America.

America, due to the fear of the consequences of a nuclear war and to prevent the repetition of the disaster of the nuclear attack that occurred in two Japanese cities with more than 200 thousand victims, last year Unconventional but with less destruction sent to Ukraine; A policy that was adopted with the aim of balancing the fronts, but for them, it was more destruction of Ukraine and the killing of civilians without changing the equation of war.

British and American low-enriched uranium munitions en route to Ukraine

October 1402, that is, about 6 months after sending ammunition containing depleted uranium donated by England to Ukraine, the Biden administration is ready to send this type of ammunition to Kiev for the first time. .

The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced Washington’s $175 million military package to Ukraine at the same time as Foreign Minister Anthony Blinken of the Biden administration visited Kiev. In this military package, he gives ammunition containing depleted uranium to Ukraine.

In the report published by the Pentagon, part of the use of these ammunitions can be seen, and in this report, we will deliver 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine this fall. And its time has not yet been determined. We will supply Ukraine with enough depleted uranium ammunition to meet the needs of 31 Abrams tanks.

As ​​mentioned, these munitions are used to fire from tanks or armor to destroy Russian tanks, and bullets fired from American Abrams tanks.

On the other hand, depleted uranium is also a byproduct of uranium enrichment, which is used in the manufacture of munitions because it is very dense. Its abundance gives bullets the ability to easily penetrate armor plating and burn it into a cloud of dust and metal. In any case, this ammunition has many critics because its results, especially in Iraq, showed that these ammunition can cause many physical problems such as cancer and birth defects.

War experience has shown that, like cluster bombs, munitions containing low-enriched uranium kill more than soldiers. Ordinary people are victims. America has used this type of unconventional weapons at different times, such as in the first and second Iraq wars.

“Igor Krylov” commander of biological, chemical and radiological defense unit of the Russian army, in April of the American crime in He unveiled the course of the attack on Iraq in 2003 and said that American fighters dropped bombs containing depleted uranium in the cities of Al-Amara, Baghdad, Basra, Fallujah and even Karbala in 2003 and 2004.

According to the Iraqi government, in 2005, the average cancer incidence in this country due to the use of depleted uranium bullets decreased from 40 to 1,000. 600 cases per 100,000 people have increased. For this reason, Baghdad sued America in 2022 and demanded compensation.

This month (April), the Guardian newspaper in a report on a study based on information and data provided by doctors in Iraq about a significant increase in cancer rates. And he discussed the birth defects after the start of the American bombing and wrote that the American attack on Iraq 20 years ago has left a legacy worse than the bombing of Hiroshima with a nuclear bomb by the United States.

Due to the serious dangers of using bombs containing depleted uranium, many people and authorities of the world were against sending such unconventional weapons to Ukraine. The spokesperson of the United Nations is also seen.

Farhan Haq, the Deputy Spokesperson of the United Nations, a few days ago, after confirming the reports of sending tank shells containing depleted uranium, said that the United Nations is always concerned about the use of This type of munition is everywhere in the world and he emphasized: “Our concerns about the use of depleted uranium anywhere in the world have been consistent and still remain.”

From cluster bomb to fear of tactical atomic bomb; Entering the war into a dangerous stage

With the Ukraine war entering its second year and the crisis eroding, the White House has embarked on the deployment of unconventional weapons of mass destruction, including cluster bombs in mid-July. It was one of them. These types of unconventional weapons were sent to Ukraine and immediately used by the military authorities of Kiev.

Cluster bombs are smaller explosive munitions typically used against personnel and light vehicles. Since some munitions do not explode after being fired and can remain unexploded in former conflict zones for decades, they put the lives of people and civilians at risk. Therefore, more than 120 countries, including NATO members, have agreed to ban the use of weapons.

Cluster bombs were first used in World War II and at least 15 actors such as Eritrea, Ethiopia , France, the Zionist regime, Morocco, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Russia, America, etc. have used these bombs in the years since.

Meanwhile, America ranks first among the countries that have used this deadly and unconventional weapon. . Therefore, the people of countries such as Afghanistan, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Grenada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Vietnam, former Yugoslavia (Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia) and Yemen at different times. So far, they have been among the direct or indirect victims of American warmongering.

For example, it is estimated that the US dropped about 260 million cluster bombs in Laos between 1964 and 1973. Threw. According to Reuters, about 400,000 of these bombs have been cleared and at least 11,000 people have been killed in this Southeast Asian country.

In addition to cluster bombs, tactical ballistic missiles also made a lot of noise in 1402. In October 1402, an American official confirmed the presence of tactical ballistic missiles in the new package of military aid from Washington to Kiev in an interview with the American “ABC” channel, and said: However, Washington’s plans to provide these missiles to Ukraine may change.

Also, several senior US officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity that the White House is considering issuing an authorization to transfer the Army’s Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) or Guided Multiple Launch Missile Systems (GMLRS) or both are approaching Ukraine.

Both of these systems benefit from the ability to be equipped with cluster bombs, which Washington has previously provided to Kiev in weapons packages.

A few steps of using tactical nuclear weapons and the risk of World War III

In June 1402, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his Belarusian counterpart, Viktor Khornin, presented a set of documents in Minsk to define the method of maintaining Russia’s non-strategic nuclear weapons. They signed in the special storage facilities of this country on the territory of Belarus.

Before that, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently announced that Moscow and Minsk have reached an agreement to deploy Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

U.S. President Biden, in response to the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, warned that Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons if necessary are a real threat and should be He took it seriously.

The danger of using tactical nuclear weapons was raised in 1402 while America was the only country using atomic bombs. It is strategic. Because the United States used atomic bombs in Japan in the last year of World War II, there was always a fear that it would use tactical atomic bombs in the Ukraine crisis.

It should be noted that “tactical hats” are placed against “strategic hats”. Although tactical warheads have very high destructive power and lethality, sometimes these tactical nuclear weapons are also called “small atoms”. These types of weapons are used for small attacks and special and close targets such as command centers or used to destroy a column of tanks or aircraft carrier battle groups.

Tactical bombs, since they are used to destroy specific targets, are designed to not have a lot of nuclear radiation. However, there is always nuclear radiation during the use of nuclear bombs.

Therefore, in 1402, during the Ukrainian crisis, the risk of using this type of prohibited weapon seemed too serious. So that many warned about the consequences of using tactical nuclear weapons that could end in a full-scale nuclear war.

From the point of view of the observers, unconventional weapons and mass killings ranging from cluster bombs to depleted uranium ammunition and ballistic missiles were sent to the fronts with the aim of balancing, which were ultimately unsuccessful. and Russia always had the upper hand on the battlefield.
