The use of depleted uranium munitions has been fiercely debated, with opponents like the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust, including cancers and birth defects.
Why though? Can't imagine that these rounds are going to change the course of the war, so why? Are they out of non-Uranium ones?

Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians

"Opposing the poisoning of masses of innocent people who had no say in the war is propaganda. I am very smart!"
it's kind of impressive how consistently we get the dumbest takes possible from lemmy.ee
I think Russia would be the most bloodthirsty if this was a contest. Good try though.
Na, that's still you
Also least self aware
The body count of the West is several orders of magnitude higher than Russia's
Whataboutism.
Please don't use that against them, even as a bit as it's extremely powerful and causes irreperable emotional damage. Be mindful, libs are people too.
Yes it’s that simple isn’t it? At least to a simpleton.
They are harder and penetrate armour better. So yes they will provide an advantage.
The sooner Russian occupiers are no longer murdering Ukrainians and dropping mines over every square meter of land, the less harm comes to Ukrainians.
Tungsten penetrators perform better than DU ones. They're just more expensive and Ukrainian lives aren't worth that much.
Plenty enough to rip through the Russian armor! These are just old stockpiles of ammunition that weren't getting use anyways.
love to refresh my arsenal via proxy war
Love to get rid of my toxic waste by simply poisoning a different populace
I know it hard for the recently scratched liberals to understand this, but It's perfectly okay to decommission a weapon, you don't have to use it on people to get rid of it.
