1 chapters across the catalog

The deployment of Abrams M1A1 tanks to Ukraine introduces depleted uranium (DU) sabot rounds to the battlefield, which Russia has officially declared equivalent to the use of "dirty bombs." Russian delegates in Vienna warned that any use of DU munitions will be treated as a nuclear attack, potentially triggering a nuclear response from Moscow. These weapons, originally designed to counter Soviet armor during the Cold War, are now being deployed in a hot war scenario.
