From what I've read depleted uranium is not proven to cause cancer, nor is it not proven (With the exception that you inhale it or eat it).
In Iraq it's still up to debate if it causes cancer or birth defects, since burning buildings and other burning stuff also causes a lot of nasty things to humans.
From what I've read they were also used in Bosnia, and they haven't had similiar effects to Iraq.
So let the Ukrainians have their depleted uranium.
I was just gonna say, you're correct, and I'm pretty sure there are WAY more toxic chemicals and debris on a battlefield. Think of all the older structures built with asbestos products being destroyed, for example...
Last I read, alot of the effects Vets ended up with from Iraq, were from the immense open pits they burnt their trash in.
Tankies shaking in their boots over that Abrams 120mm DU APFSDS slicing though Russian steel like butter.
It's so easy to trigger tankie bridgades. How many posts yall got about me now? Tagged me in a few!
Depleted uranium is, well, depleted. It's U238 and so it's just heavy abundant shit. Perfect to give ruzzia orcs their daily last meal. I wouldn't sleep with one of those things as a pillow but otherwise there's nothing to worry about. Uranium is literally everywhere in minute amounts in the dirt so just keep those things a few feet away and you'll be fine.
