If they're not expecting the drones to return, this could be a 'salting the earth' tactic.

They're putting it in the munitions on the drones

The drone is a kamikaze drone. It delivers the warhead and destroys itself.

The uranium is armor piercing. That's why they use it.

Cool. I routinely did 18+ hour long missions in iraq. Next to our munitions.

So fuck you.

You fucking apologist piece of shit

yayyy

Alright, I stand corrected. I admittedly did not read the article before commenting, so I did not know they used depleted uranium.

Although my point about uranium ore being cheap is still technically correct 🤓

But it is radioactive. But given the mess around Chernobyl, drop in a bucket.

Wikipedia disagrees:

Depleted uranium is favored for the penetrator because it is self-sharpening[36] and flammable.[32] On impact with a hard target, such as an armored vehicle, the tip of the projectile will be "mushroomed",[37] while the back of the projectile is still a rigid solid. This leads to adiabatic shearing, and together with the spin of the projectile results in a shedding of the mushroomed plastic phase in such a way that it forms a new sharp tip. This shedding of the mushroomed tip improves penetration properties compared to the complete dispersal that takes place with tungsten penetrators,[38] therefore DU penetrators are 20% more effective than tungsten rounds.[39] The impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to ignite when in contact with oxygen.[32] When a DU penetrator reaches the interior of an armored vehicle, it catches fire, often igniting ammunition and fuel and possibly causing the vehicle to explode.[39] DU is used by the U.S. Army in 120 mm or 105 mm cannons employed on the M1 Abrams tank.
