"Military Martial Plane" Author: Bloodblade
Since the Ukrainian army began its counterattack at the end of August, the possibility of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict escalating into a nuclear crisis has increased significantly.
Some Western media said: The referendum on the entry of the four eastern Ukrainian states into Russia also marks that Russia will forcibly divide the original Ukrainian territory into Russia. According to the principle of Russia's strategic nuclear counterattack, that is, if Russia is subject to a large-scale invasion, the Russian army will launch a nuclear counterattack. Therefore, the West has been hyping up the issue of the so-called Russian army taking the lead in using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
▲Ukraine is likely to start developing dirty bombs
However, as early as after the outbreak of the conflict, Russia has stated more than once that the Russian army will not actively use any form of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. On October 24, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced another amazing news: the Ukrainian authorities have begun to secretly study the research and development and use of "dirty bombs". Two related organizations including the Kiev Nuclear Research Institute are involved, and the Ukrainian Presidential Office and the United Kingdom have contacted relevant technical information!
According to calculations, Ukraine is indeed capable of developing small "dirty bombs" and thus faces radioactive pollution in thousands of square meters. Therefore, Russia began to negotiate with the West while making the Russian army prepare for the worst-case scenario. "dirty bomb" can be said to be a more cruel weapon than the general nuclear bomb , because it will bring irreversible terrifying disasters to the human ecology and will become the fuse for large-scale nuclear war . Therefore, using such weapons by either Russia and Ukraine is a disaster for the world!
What is "dirty bomb"? In what aspects does its harm manifest? The essence of
dirty bombs is a special explosive after the high-power military explosives are mixed with radioactive powder/granules. After the former is detonated, shock wave will spill various radioactive substances into the surrounding area. The harm of this radioactive strike is even far greater than that of the explosion that is powerful on the surface but has limited subsequent harm. Because it will cause the organisms in the vast area to face a catastrophe through radioactive pollution and radiation poisoning, and the corresponding area will become a place of death with no value for economic construction.
▲The explosion power of dirty bombs is low, but the radiation is very strong
General nuclear weapons, such as fission bombs ( atomic bomb ), will produce a power far exceeding the explosion of ordinary explosives. This is caused by the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction of highly enriched uranium or weapon-level plutonium, which leads to a fission chain reaction that gives rise to a high-power explosion. Under the same conditions, the power of the explosion is not outstanding, but the chemical reaction brought by the explosion will instantly evaporate or atomize radioactive substances. The severity and persistence of its radiation are almost incomparable to all other weapons.
▲Relatively speaking, the technical threshold for manufacturing dirty bombs is low
Shortly after the end of World War II , the Allies investigated Nazi Germany's nuclear weapons projects, but found that although Germany could not create a weapon like Hiroshima atomic bomb, it may develop dirty bombs, which also shows that the dirty bomb itself is a relatively primitive radioactive diffusion device with low technical and cost requirements. However, because the materials of the dirty bomb themselves may even be obtained from the fields of medicine, civil industry, etc., terrorist organizations have become very interested in it. Back then, the Chechen armed forces even tried to use cesium-137 to mix with explosives to attack Moscow !
▲If a terrorist organization obtains dirty bombs, the consequences will be unimaginable. The terrifying thing about
radiation is that people cannot realize its existence through their direct senses, so they do not know whether they have been attacked. The consequences of the dirty bomb itself are closely related to the amount/type of explosives it uses, the nature of the radioactive material released, and the wind direction/terrain during the explosion.Generally speaking, the closer the person is to the center of the explosion of the dirty bomb, the more obvious the damage he receives, the relatively flat area of the explosion, and the radiation spread will be more serious. If strong winds with unstable directions occur at this time, the consequences will be even more terrible.
▲The sequelae brought by radiation is undoubtedly a long torture
Like the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb , the dirty bomb will also produce three rays of α, β and γ after the explosion. For the human body, if the distance is too close, even if it survives the explosion, it will first face the threat of α ray ; if long-term exposure and lack of protective clothing and respiratory filters, it will be damaged by β ray , which spreads farther away. At this time, if the skin ruptures, the situation will be even worse. The most terrifying γ ray not only spreads a long distance and lasts for a long time, but also penetrates almost all materials to attack the human body! Once the radiation exceeds the critical value, the victim will quickly develop symptoms such as headaches and high fevers, and gradually die in extreme pain!
Can Ukraine create dirty bombs? What are the consequences once used?
As early as 1992, Ukraine, which suffered from lack of maintenance funds and technology, successively destroyed a large number of nuclear bombs inherited from the former Soviet Union, but this does not mean that Ukraine today cannot develop dirty bombs. Before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine had four nuclear power plants inherited from the former Soviet Union in the 1980s. Among them, the largest Zaporo thermonuclear power plant has been controlled by the Russian army. However, Ukraine also has three nuclear power plants, Southern Ukraine, Rovno and Khmelniksky . The total number of reactors has reached 15, and the reserves of nuclear materials should naturally not be underestimated.
▲Zabolotherm nuclear power plant has been controlled by the Russian army
Therefore, if the Ukrainian army loses its mind, it may use military explosives to merge with the previously reserved nuclear waste , and then use aviation bomb , long-range artillery shells, drone and even suicide trucks to attack as vehicles. Judging from the obvious loopholes in the Russian military-controlled area, the Ukrainian army may even send a team to sprinkle radioactive waste directly in the wild! Therefore, if the Ukrainian army did launch dirty bombs or similar attacks through various channels, it would indeed make the other party unable to completely prevent it.
▲Ukraine reserves a considerable amount of nuclear waste
With Russia introducing Iranian drones and even tactical missiles , the West claimed that it would impose sanctions on Iran, and on the other hand it said that it would expand the types of weapons to aid Ukraine, and may even give F-16 fighter , extended-range rockets and large-scale survey and strike drones to the Ukrainian army. In this way, the range of conventional strikes of the Ukrainian army will be significantly improved, and its potential dirty bomb strike plan will become more deadly!
▲Once the dam is destroyed at the same time, the consequences of dirty bombs will be even more terrible
In addition, the Ukrainian army also began to frequently attack multiple hydropower stations in the Dnieper River and began to store water in the upstream dams. This does not rule out that the Ukrainian army might blast the dam and "replace the soldiers with water." If this move occurs at the same time as the dirty bomb attack, the radiation disaster may expand rapidly with the flood, and may even cause the problem of the Japanese Fukushima nuclear wastewater dumping crisis to take place in disguise in Eastern Europe, which will lead to an irreversible ecological disaster!
▲ "Hydrought Operation in Red Sea " describes the threat of dirty bombs
Although Russia communicates directly with many Western countries about the possible dirty bomb crisis, the Ukrainian authorities said that using dirty bombs is abominable, and only Russia may use dirty bombs on Ukraine, thereby attacking Ukraine's war ability and coercing the West to stop aiding Ukraine. In response, Ukraine said it would invite the International Atomic Energy Agency supervision team to conduct inspections. Putting aside the verbal quarrels between both sides, both sides are still very clear about the harm to the dirty bomb.
▲If the Russian-Ukrainian conflict turns into nuclear proliferation, then the security of any country will face serious problems
However, in addition to Russia and Ukraine, there is also a potential threat that cannot be ignored, namely, NATO volunteers who arrived in Ukraine to assist in the war after the outbreak of the conflict! All signs show that the Ukrainian army, including high-end weapons such as Himas rocket launcher , can often be seen in the NATO personnel. These people are no longer truly ordered by the Ukrainian army. For these NATO officers and soldiers who are essentially not considering the long-term interests and safety of Ukraine, it is not difficult to create dirty bombs or even launch them.
▲101 Airborne Division entered Europe, undoubtedly exacerbating the tension
Once these people use the chaos on the battlefield to launch a dirty bomb attack, or even falsely accused Russia of using dirty bombs, then according to another prerequisite for Russia's strategic counterattack (the Russian army was attacked by weapons of mass destruction), the nuclear war will no longer be avoided, and NATO forces are more likely to use this as an excuse and directly participate in the war under the banner of preventing the nuclear crisis! Recently, the 101st Airborne Division, the US ace force, entered Europe again after nearly 80 years, and was deployed on the border between , Romania, and Ukraine. Its purpose is naturally extraordinary.
Indirectly using weapons of mass destruction has long been a history of history
A major feature of the Western propaganda machine is that it combines the opponent with weapons of mass destruction that everyone hates, and ultimately portrays the US military as a superhuman hero to eradicate evil.
However, on the other hand, the West itself often secretly tries its best to develop and hoard these weapons of mass destruction in large quantities, and even tries to make excuses to give itself the opportunity to use such weapons in the end, and the final battlefield of such weapons is often in other countries' territories.
▲No one knows how many weapons of mass destruction the United States has hoarded
Before World War II, the United States was experiencing the harm of chemical weapons, but in six years it produced 140,000 tons of various poisons, including mustard gas , phosgene , cyanide and ulcerated gas, and has developed dozens of special ammunition and projection weapons for this! What's even more terrifying is that the United States also threatened and tempted 60,000 US military officers and soldiers secretly accepted various chemical weapons tests under conditions of poor defense measures or even almost no defense! These unscrupulous American soldiers also suffered from various diseases throughout their lives.
▲ There were tens of thousands of US military officers and soldiers who became test-made without knowing it
At that time, the US military believed that the Japanese army frequently used various poison gases in China, and the Nazis also killed Jews in concentration camps with poison gases, so their opponents had long been notorious. Therefore, once a chemical weapons crisis occurs on the battlefield, the United States, which stands at the commanding heights of public opinion and is under the banner of liberating the world, can call for thieves in advance, and put the charge of using chemical weapons first on the heads of these evil people who are well-known, and then make it legitimate to use chemical weapons on a large scale.
▲In the Barrie Port incident, American chemical weapons brought difficult damage to Italy
1943, the US and British Allied Forces counterattacked Southern Europe, and the 10,000-ton cargo ship John Harvey, carrying hundreds of tons of mustard gas bombs, arrived at Barrie Port in southeastern Italy in November of that year. Only a very small number of senior executives within the Allied forces knew this fact. In their opinion, German chemical weapons have reached a very high level and are likely to use them to attack the Allied forces when the war situation is unfavorable. Therefore, it is necessary for the US military to attack with similar weapons first. It can be seen that this predictive thinking has a surprising similarity with the fact that American police often cleared magazines when enforcing the law.
On the other hand, the Allies once again committed a taboo of underestimating the enemy. Because it was not afraid to judge that the , which had suffered repeated defeats on multiple fronts, the air defense near the Port of Barry was full of loopholes, so that on December 2 of that year, a night attack by hundreds of German aircraft easily sank 17 Allied ships, including the John Harvey.Since the two thousand American M47 chemical bombs on the ship were detonated, a terrifying poison gas crisis instantly swept through Barry, the once quiet and beautiful port city.
▲The trick of thieves shouting to catch thieves is likely to be the beginning of the dirty bomb crisis
In this catastrophe, at least 620 Allied officers and soldiers died one after another due to poison gas leakage, and the number of Italian civilians killed countless people, and more people fled the dead city. Afterwards, archives showed that there may even be tens of thousands of dead and injured people, and more people will be tortured by the illness caused by poisonous gas throughout their lives. This was because the US military strictly blocked the news afterwards, so that a large number of victims did not receive correct and rapid treatment, but the US military later stated that this was caused by the German military's use of chemical weapons.
▲No one can guarantee whether the West gave the finished dirty bomb to Ukraine
However, not long after, the fragments of US-made chemical bombs were found, and the truth was revealed. Although Italy later filed compensation from the United States many times, it has not been taken seriously by the other party. The Barry Port incident fully demonstrates that the United States does not care about the safety of any country's land and people for its interests in the interests of the war! Therefore, learning from history, today, the Western mercenary is more likely to use the trick of thieves to catch the thief and put the charge of launching a dirty bomb attack on Russia!
How to save yourself when a dirty bomb attacks?
If the explosion point is close, first you should quickly tighten the mouth and nose with a cloth to reduce the influence of radioactive dust and smoke, and stay away from all objects thrown by the explosion because they are radioactive. If conditions permit, you must quickly enter the window wall as well as the building as possible, thereby reducing the radiation faced. After entering a safe building, you must quickly remove the outer coat and place it and the cloth covering the mouth and nose in a sealed bag, and the bag itself must be kept away from everyone until the professional arrives and deal with it. Finally, it is necessary to wash the whole body, especially the head with soap and ensure a clean water.
▲A full set of protection is a necessary condition to resist radiation
If the building is determined to be intact enough, try to stay in it and not leave it easily. More importantly, all exterior doors, windows and fireplace baffles should be quickly closed, while the air conditioner, fan and heating equipment must be closed at the same time to reduce dust entry. If the walls and windows of the building are damaged, try to enter other more confined rooms in the building. When you have to leave the building, try to find a new clean cloth to cover your mouth and nose, and wear a new coat.
▲Radiation Detector
If you are in a farther car, you should quickly close the lathe and the air conditioner and vents in the car, and quickly cover your mouth and nose with a cloth. If you are closer to any safe building at this time, you must enter quickly after taking personal protection as safe as possible; if the distance is relatively far, you must park your car in a safer area on the side of the road. If the outside world is strong or the temperature is high, it is best to park the car in a cool place and turn off the engine and turn on the broadcast. You can continue driving away from the dangerous area after being told that it is safe.
▲The packaging box of canned food can ensure a certain degree of safety
After the dirty bomb crisis, all unpackaged food near the center point and open-air food/water in further areas also have certain radioactive dust, so it must be kept away. The food and groundwater in the sealed container have much higher safety factor, so this is also an emergency choice. In addition, although potassium iodide can protect the human thyroid from radioactive iodine , it cannot guarantee that other radioactive substances will attack, and may even bring certain side effects to the human body. Therefore, only by knowing the existence of radioactive iodine can you take this drug.
▲Who can remember the way Chernobyl looks before radiation
Because the explosion power of dirty bombs is relatively limited, regional communications may also be restored in the shortest possible time, and the relevant radioactive material investigations will naturally be announced to the public in broadcasting and other communication methods. Therefore, if you are at the scene of the incident, you must always pay attention to such real-time news until the official announcement that the radioactive substances from the outside have been fundamentally eliminated before you can go out. Considering the possible residual harm, each time you go out, you must not only shorten the time, but also frequently and comprehensively scrub the whole body after returning to the safe area.
Looking at the crises since the Cold War , the Russian-Ukraine conflict is almost the highest risk index so far. It is conceivable that if Ukraine, an important grain-producing country, experiences a dirty bomb crisis, it will not only bring about regional ecological disasters like Chernobyl, which lasts for many years, but also brings unimaginable crises to the people's livelihoods of countries around the world! Therefore, no matter whether either party crosses the dirty red line for any form or reason, it is a serious crime against humanity and even the earth!
