MUH ESCALATION!!!Its not the radiation, ITS THE HEAVY METAL POISONING. Care to look up what that does? Dont. It will haunt you. And unlike a flooded river the effects will last centuries. But thats okay as long as we get to kill some Russians huh? The Rainbow Empire accepts no limits on its escalation.
So far fucking muscovite imperialism simping thinly hidden under all sorts of silly excuses is what's haunting me.
Yes, it is a heavy metal. So is lead. And what do you think tungsten is?Issue with depleted uranium is a) heavy metal toxicity and b) it is pyrophoric. Combine these two, and long-term environmental and health hazards can be significant.
But then I don't think any Western tanks need DU to handle Russian tanks. Leopard 2 with tungsten penetrators would be more than capable of doing so.
DU is pyrophoric, but only in dust form, which it gets into when shot at something hard, like tank armor, and it ignites right then, so yeah...
By now everyone sane has noticed that Ukraine is going to have a huge environmental mess on hand anyway with all the leftovers of explosives, burned down military and civilian stuff washed down by rains, soots mixed with weird chemicals and so on, nevermind the omnipresent mines, so a tiny bit more heavy metal contamination won't make a meaningful difference.
