The United States will provide Ukraine with depleted uranium bombs to penetrate tanks

(Washington Composite Electric) It is reported that the United States will provide penetrating depleted uranium bombs for Ukraine for the first time to deal with Russia's tanks.The United States will announce a new military assistance to Ukraine next week, and depleted uranium bombs will be part of them.

Reuters on Friday (September 1) reported that according to the documents it saw and confirmed by two US officials, the depleted uranium ammunition launched by the main battle tank in the United States can be launched from the US ABRAMS main battle tank.), It is expected to arrive in Ukraine in the next few weeks.

One of the officials revealed that the upcoming total aid support for the aid was between 240 million and 375 million US dollars (330 to 510 million yuan), and the specific items included were yet to be finalized.

Britain has provided Ukraine with depleted uranium bombs earlier this year, but this is the first time that the United States has provided such weapons to Ukraine.The depleted uranium bomb does not cause nuclear explosion, but the density of uranium is very high and can penetrate armor.This kind of weapon has always been controversial, and opponents such as the internationally banned uranium weapon alliance believe that depleted uranium dust will bring health risks, including cancer and congenital defects.

However, the British and US government insisted that there is no scientific evidence that depleted uranium bombs are related to cancer.The United States used a large number of depleted uranium bombs during the Persian Gulf War in 1990 and 2003, and in 1999, and the capital of Yugoslavia's capital, Belgrade.

The United States has provided a bundle bomb for Ukraine, which can be launched from aircraft or land -based artillery, missiles, and rocket launchers.This weapon will release a large number of smaller sub -bombs, which expands the damage area, and threatens the safety of civilians. It is particularly large, and the threat of the unprepared bomb can be up to decades.

Russia announced the deployment of new intercontinental ballistic missiles to crack down on the United States

As the United States provides more lethal weapons for Ukraine, Russia has claimed that the latest strategic nuclear missile has been deployed.

Borisov, president of the Russian National Space Corporation, announced on Friday that SARMAT intercontinental ballistic missiles, which can carry multiple nuclear warheads, have been put into combat missions.

According to Russia, Sal Mart missiles can deploy 10 or more hypersonic nuclear warheads, with a range of 18,000 kilometers, which is enough to nuclear the United States.

Russian President Putin stated in a speech in March 2018 that Russia is developing several advanced weapons, and Salmat is one of them.He described Salmat as a "unique weapon" that allows American missile defense systems to be inherent.However, Moscow only tested Salmat for the first time in April last year, two months after the Russian army invaded Ukraine.

U.S. National Security Council spokesman Kobe said that he could not confirm whether Salmat had really put into battle tasks.

Russian military analyst, Russian, said that due to the limited number of tests of Salmat to this day, Russian officials claim that it may have been deployed as "talked about soldiers on paper."

Luxin and other experts believe that Russian officials have declared that Salmat has put into a fighting task, which is a political signal issued to Western countries, that is, to warn that Europe and the United States will continue to increase the aid of Ukraine to the world.For consequences, Sal Mart may not be used in the Ukrainian battlefield.

Quinic, the Atlantic Council of the American Think Tank, believes that Salmat represents the achievements of the modernization of Russian nuclear weapons.He said that intercontinental missiles currently relying on the MINUTEMAN, the last upgrade, was the 1970s.Compared with Salmat's more than 10 nuclear warheads, militia missiles can only be equipped with three.

Dai Peng, an weapon expert who once worked at the Office of the National Intelligence Director of the United States, also said that if Salmat really said, as Putin said, it can be able to nuclear the United States, then the American missile defense system will be a bigchallenge.
