Ukrainians raise alarm. Russians use banned ammunition for drone attacks

Russian drones have been steadily increasing their use for some time now. controversial types of ammunition. These are often loads that could be described as improvised. However, they are very dangerous, as one of the Ukrainian soldiers mentions.

The Pokrovsky direction is one of the priorities for the Russians, as evidenced by the use of their the newest and extremely rare scatter mining systemswhich until now have been used in the most sensitive places.

The Russians seem to be quite desperate in this region, because according to Senior Sergeant Yegor Firsov from the 109th UAV Company of the Ukrainian Army, the enemy is resorting to using all kinds of weaponsincluding these prohibited by international treaties.

According to the Ukrainian soldier, the Russians are constantly attacking in small groups, about 5-10 soldiers each, who outnumber the Ukrainians in terms of equipment and air support — primarily from planes. In the case of drones, however, the Ukrainians are expected to have a clear advantage over the Russians.

To even the odds, the Russians began to use more dangerous i often improvised ammunition. We’re talking about small ones here. bombs filled with pin-shaped fragmentsor ammunition from poisonous chemicals.

Bombs filled with small needles after the explosion they scatter extremely sharp fragments all over the area. According to Firsov, when someone is hit by them, it is impossible to stop the bleeding and the victim simply bleeds out.

Probably chemical weaponthat the Russians drop on Ukrainian soldiers are grenades RG-VOwhich probably contain, among others: chloroacetofenonwhich severely irritates eyes and skin and may cause suffocation. The Russian marines confirmed earlier this year that they had used this type of weapon in the town of Krynki, a place where the Ukrainians managed to cross the Dnieper and maintain a bridgehead for quite some time.

Use of asphyxiating gases, poisonous gases and biological weapons is prohibited under the Geneva Protocol of 1925and resolution of the United Nations from 1969. Russia is a signatory to both of these documents.
