US Agrees to Send Controversial Uranium Tank Rounds to Ukraine

US Agrees to Send Controversial , Uranium Tank Rounds to Ukraine.

Fox News reports that the United States has agreed to send depleted uranium anti-tank rounds to support Ukraine.

.

The news coms after the United Kingdom agreed to send the controversial munitions to aid Kyiv's counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces.

Fox News reports that the 120 mm rounds are munitions for the 31 MIAI Abrams tanks the U.S. has pledged to deliver to Ukraine this fall.

.

The armor-piercing rounds were first developed by the U.S. amid the Cold War to counter Soviet tanks.

The depleted uranium used in the rounds is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process necessary for creating nuclear weapons.

.

According to RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher Edward Geist, while the rounds retain some radioactive properties, they cannot generate a nuclear reaction.

Depleted uranium is extremely dense, which adds to its potency as a projectile.

.

It’s so dense and it’s got so much momentum that it just keeps going through the armor — and it heats it up so much that it catches on fire, Edward Geist, RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher, via Fox News .

In March, the U.K.'s announcement that it would send depleted uranium rounds was met with a Russian warning that doing so would open the door to further escalation.

Fox News reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin has already suggested that the war could be escalated to the deployment of nuclear weapons.

Zelensky Accepts Defeat to Putin? Top Commander Allegedly Ready to Surrender to Russia | Details

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee. Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia. #Zelensky #Putin #Ukraine #AleksandrSyrsky #Russia #Surrender #TopCommander #MilitaryConspiracy #ZelenskyGovernment #UkraineConflict #NationalSecurity #DefenseIntelligence #PoliticalTurmoil #InternalDivisions #RussianAggression #MilitaryStrategy ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~

Russia's Su-57 'Felon': The Stealth Fighter Jet Redefining Aerial Warfare and Dominating Skies

The Su-57 'Felon' is arguably the only fighter jet developed by the Russian Federation. For the 34 years of its existence (since the collapse of the USSR), the Russian Federation has struggled to create all-new fighter jets. For decades, Russia has been able to upgrade and rebrand old Soviet platforms continuously—largely slapping upgrades and bigger designation numbers on its inherited Soviet models. But how much longer can this continue? Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multi-functional fighter jet designed to destroy all kinds of air, surface, and surface targets. #Su57 #Felon #RussianFighterJet #StealthTechnology #AerialWarfare #MilitaryInnovation #FifthGenerationFighter #AirSuperiority #ModernWarfare #CuttingEdgeTech #Aviation #Defense #RadarEvasion #CombatAircraft #NextGenFighter
