I don't like the use of depleted uranium munitions in war.

But on the other hand the article came with a pop-up written in Cyrillic, so I'm not going to take it at face value.

Why? It's as dangerous as regular munitions, just more dense.

It's a Ukrainian website, so it might have some popups in Ukrainian

How would be uranium that is part of an explosion and dissipation not a problem to health? Even if it is low radiation.

Yeah, I've read more about it, and it seems that DU isn't as safe as I thought.
