Russia is now using depleted‑uranium munitions in drones – but nuclear weapons remain highly unlikely.   The danger is chemical toxicity, not radiation. When DU burns or explodes, it becomes aerosol dust that can poison lungs and kidneys.
Khrapchynskyi stresses: tactical nukes are extremely unlikely due to China’s pressure, untested warheads, and Ukraine’s strikes on Russia’s nuclear infrastructure.

DU in Geran‑2 drones → toxic dust
Not a radiological threat unless inhaled

Russia’s nuclear warheads: untested for 20 years

Max 25 missiles per salvo → no massive barrages

Only Patriot PAC‑3 / SAMP/T can safely intercept nuclear payloads

Russia is basically bolting Cold War museum pieces onto drones and calling it innovation.
