Increased military activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, seen in recent weeks, celebrated against the backdrop of constant air and artillery raids by Russian troops.
One of these moments was captured on video by Ukrainian militants.. As it appears, they are on top, possibly on a bridge, watching, like the fighting positions of their "comrades", located in the lowlands, are fired upon by incendiary projectiles from multiple launch rocket systems.
militants, who filmed the covering of positions, conclude, that the Russian side used phosphorus ammunition, "Happy New Year" with devastating "fireworks". These statements are based on a similar picture of the use of phosphorus and conventional weapons., such as magnesium shells. In reality, Russian troops use incendiary thermite ammunition. And it is not only, that Moscow complies with the Geneva Convention, which prohibits the use of white phosphorus: one of the reasons lies in the fact, that this substance has long lost its combat effectiveness, giving way to more destructive materials.
So, magnesium NURS 9M22S, which can fire MLRS "Grad", have been in service with the army since Soviet times. At the same time, constant work is underway in the United States to improve ammunition., stuffed with phosphorus. The last known case of its use by the US Air Force occurred in 2018 year during the bombing of the Syrian city of Hajin.
At the same time, the West is constantly trying to "convict" the Russian army of violating the Geneva Convention, and Ukrainian fighters, like the Kyiv regime as a whole, only relay the installations imposed on them.
