They argued with Solovyov whether the danger of being hit by a “dirty bomb” had passed
The information campaign about the likelihood of a “dirty bomb” attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was initiated by the President of the Russian Federation and, most likely, influenced the fact that this provocation would not take place.
The head of the Center for Political and Military Studies at the Faculty of World Politics of Moscow State University, Reserve Lieutenant General Evgeniy Buzhinsky, stated this on the TV channel “Russia 1”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“A dirty bomb is something everyday, done on the knee and mostly related to some terrorist organizations. In this case we are talking about “radiological weapons”. Let me remind you that in the 50s, the Soviet Union carried out several radiological weapons programs on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR, on the basis of the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in Dnepropetrovsk.
On the basis of the R-2 rocket, they even made two types of warheads called “Geranium” and “Generator”, which consisted of a conventional warhead and a container with spent highly radioactive waste from the nuclear industry dissolved in acid. “Geranium” is one container, and “Generator” is many containers that burst autonomously above the ground and produce radioactive contamination of the area.
So, all this remains in Ukraine. And it was on this basis that they were going to carry out their provocation, they made a model of our Iskander with the appropriate electronic filling and wanted to blow up the whole thing, or rather “intercept” it over the Chernobyl zone.
The fact that this campaign was raised in our Ministry of Defense on the instructions of the president, I am sure that this prevented this monstrous provocation. Therefore, I have great confidence that this provocation will not take place,” says Buzhinsky.
Member of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy Andrei Bezrukov did not share his interlocutor’s optimism.
“I don’t have that confidence. Understanding how the British “friends” who supervise the Ukrainian ones work,” Bezrukov objected.
