Looks like civilized war is about to end soon and now both parties are getting ready to use more serious weaponry which will cause a lot of civilian death. So far the civilian death toll in Ukraine has only been 240 despite the heavy bombing and fighting which is impressive for both parties considering the US invasion of Iraq caused 200,000 civilian deaths and the US invasion of Afghanistan caused 46,000 civilian deaths…
Say whatever you want but both Russia and Ukraine have been very careful not to kill civilians and they did a pretty good job SO FAR…. but now, SADLY, things are going to get dirty on both sides. May God help and protect the people’s of both countries as the people, including the soldiers, have no fault in this hideous political war.
Russia is getting ready to use thermobaric “flamethrower” tank but a more correct name would be “firestorm” as it literally rains fire from the sky…
Dusted with snow and sitting on a tank- carrying truck, this is the menacing image of Russia’s deadly weapon that will spread fear across Ukraine – and the world.
After three days of dogged defence by Ukraine’s military frustrated the advance of Vladimir Putin’s forces, the Russian President yesterday deployed a fearsome rocket system onto the battlefield.
Footage verified by the American broadcaster CNN showed the Russian army moving TOS-1 Buratino rockets towards the front line.
Capable of firing a barrage of thermobaric ‘flamethrower’ rockets, the weapon can wipe out everything within a 300-yard radius. British military sources warn it could kill tens of thousands of civilians.
The rocket’s blast produces a wall of flame that is followed by a vacuum, which can cause deadly internal damage to lungs and other internal organs.
Among the world’s most deadly non-nuclear weapons, the powerful thermobaric devices were filmed yesterday on the back of a lorry just ten miles from Russia’s border with northern Ukraine.
It is believed they were heading for the city of Kharkiv, 250 miles east of Kyiv, where Ukrainian troops are putting up fierce resistance against Russian forces.
General Sir Richard Barrons, a former head of the UK’s joint forces command, last night said it remained unclear whether Putin would order his troops to use the weapons, but if he does the consequences will be devastating.
Ukraine is getting read to use internationally banned Phosphorus bombs
According to the ministry’s spokesman, the use of these munitions is prohibited under the UN Convention’s Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary Weapons.
Ukrainian forces have started using munitions filled with phosphorus near Gostomel Airport outside Kiev, the Russian Defence Ministry said.
“Desperate to deter the Russian offensive, Ukraine’s army has been massively using phosphorus munitions in areas close to Kiev and near Gostomel Airport. They are using 122 mm D30 howitzers and rockets for BM-21 “Grad” systems made in the Soviet Union,” official spokesman for the MoD, Igor Konashenkov, said.
The use of these munitions is banned under the third protocol of the UN Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary Weapons adopted in 1980, he added.
The Head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, has ordered to investigate the facts of the use of banned munitions by Ukrainian forces.
Mr Konashenko’v daily briefing about Russia’s special operation in Ukraine came on the heels of the announcement that Ukraine’s delegation was heading to Gomel in Belarus for the negotiations with Russia.
