An #advertisment for the use of #US-American #weapons in Ukraine

#DU rounds are frequently used by many armed forces, including the U.S. and the U.K. The rounds are denser than lead, and they self-sharpen when they make impact with a target. They are kinetic rounds, which do not explode, but penetrate a tank's armor when fired at high speeds and can be used to engage enemies at a greater distance. They wouldn't be fired from Ukraine's Soviet-era tanks, experts say, and would likely only be compatible with Western-made military vehicles.

DU munitions are "the most potent tank ammunition that's around," according to former British Army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, who previously commanded U.K. and #NATO #chemical, #biological, #radiological and #nuclear defense (CBRN) #forces.

#Ukraine must win, otherwise all the investment will be blown in the wind. America is too far away from the conflict zone, and some profiteers, feeling safe, are considering already to use nuclear weapons.
