Exclusive: US to send depleted-uranium munitions to Ukraine - Hexbear
hexbear.net
>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.

These comments are amazingly horrid. Content warning if you peek at them. These wine cave warriors and their enthusiasm for vicariously-viewed death and killing across the world would make some Wehrmacht nazis blush.

    This is completely inexplicable. They're shooting at T-72s at most. You don't need DU penetrators to kill T-72s. Any modern HEAT shell should do the job. It would be darkly funny if they really just did have these lying around in warehouses and were sending the to UA to get rid of them without having to pay for safe disposal.

    Also what are they planning to shoot them out of? Are these for the ate stripped down export Abrams the US is planning to send at some point in the future, maybe?

      There's like a 99% chance that this is true.

      I think the war crimes are the point by now. That's how ghoulish the wine cave warriors are, including the Lemmyverse liberals that keep saying "DU has better stats, checkmate" in the comments.
