BBC: Ukraine war: US to arm Kyiv with depleted uranium tank shells
The US has announced it will send controversial weapons to Ukraine as part of more than $1bn (£800m) in military and humanitarian aid.
Russia condemned the move to equip US Abrams tanks with shells strong enough to pierce conventional tank armour.
They are made of depleted uranium - a by-product of uranium enrichment stripped of most radioactive material.
Overnight, suspected Ukrainian drone attacks were reported on the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and near Moscow.
Unconfirmed video showed what appeared to be a blast in central Rostov where, according to Governor Vasily Golubev, one person was lightly injured and several cars were damaged.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said a drone that targeted the town of Ramenskoye had also been shot down and no damage reported.

Thanks for that, drunkee.
Gentle WNU ED.,
the radioactive rounds have been "stripped of most radioactive material."
The paper suits are just some OSHA bullshit
It is very telling that WNU is a liar and a shill. Russia has depleted tank rounds too.
"Russian state newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta similarly reported in 2018 that DU ammunition upgrades would be made for the T-72 and T-90 tanks."
I translated "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" and it means Gazette for Lying Rascals and Hooligans.
Russian generals can just 'withdraw their tanks' if they're worried about Ukraine's new depleted-uranium ammo, US official says
Problem solved!

Those are not paper suites and not paper gloves.
And why are they wearing them, if there is no hazard involved.
You are clueless if you think it is just because of OSHA BS
It you that are clueless depleted uranium isotopes won't even go thru skin so yes it's an OSHA thing
