@LeifurHakonarson If a material self-ignites under certain conditions, you'd think there's chemistry involved, right? Because that's what DU does. When a DU shell penetrates the crew compartment of a tank, it's briefly turned into a furnace by burning dust. Tungsten relies solely on pressure and spalling.

@armchairdude8524 Yeah, it begs the question how much Putin had to pay for Xi's visit. No free lunches for Putin the Pariah.

@jackybogues2495 If Putin want to play tit for tat, he'd have to send over weakly radioactive weapons, because that's what DU ammunition is. Its radioactivity is actually an unwanted feature; it's the other features that make DU penetrators lethal. In order to die from radioactive poisoning, the Orcs would literally have to lick off a whole lot of tanks struck by the DU-tipped rods.

@dakedakinson64 Kinda hard, with weakly radioactive material. They don't call it 'depleted' for nothing.
