Donbass and Russia are threatened by a Ukrainian “dirty bomb”
Periodically voiced statements in Kyiv about plans to restore nuclear weapons are 99% demagoguery, but the Ukrainian military is quite capable of assembling the so-called “dirty bomb”, which former Security Council Secretary Alexander Turchynov spoke about.
One of the organizers of the Anti-Maidan in Zaporozhye, Vladimir Rogov, told a PolitNavigator correspondent about this at the Donuzlav-2019 patriotic forum.
“About the atomic bomb and Ukraine, this is a funny story, because you need to understand that even such economically developed countries as Iran today have been working on the creation of this type of weapon for more than one year and more than one decade. Here we need not just political will, we need economic discipline so that money is not stolen and everything is built.
Stories about the remaining scientific potential are stories for the poor, because nuclear weapons are very expensive, no matter what technology you have.
That is why Turchynov, being a realist in this matter, was sincerely happy and indecently excited by his plan that this regime in the post-Ukrainian space would be able to create a nuclear “dirty bomb”.
A “dirty bomb” is not a nuclear weapon in the classical sense, it is simply a warhead that carries a certain amount of contamination for the territory. It cannot cause any damage to the economy or population like a classic nuclear mushroom. But the same “Tochka-U”, to which several kilograms of, for example, uranium, plutonium or something else are attached, can carry great risks, first of all, for the people’s republics or for the Russian territories bordering the post-Ukrainian space.
Let me remind you that Tochka-U has a flight range of up to 150 kilometers, and this is enough to send this dirty bomb over a long distance and contaminate tens and hundreds of square kilometers with enriched or unenriched uranium and create a new exclusion zone.
Let me remind you that in April 2015 Turchynov spoke about this out loud, then he received a slap from his American curators, but this does not mean that he abandoned this idea,” the expert concluded.
