Why though? Can't imagine that these rounds are going to change the course of the war, so why? Are they out of non-Uranium ones?
They are harder and penetrate armour better. So yes they will provide an advantage.
The sooner Russian occupiers are no longer murdering Ukrainians and dropping mines over every square meter of land, the less harm comes to Ukrainians.
Tungsten penetrators perform better than DU ones. They're just more expensive and Ukrainian lives aren't worth that much.
Plenty enough to rip through the Russian armor! These are just old stockpiles of ammunition that weren't getting use anyways.
love to refresh my arsenal via proxy war
Love to get rid of my toxic waste by simply poisoning a different populace
I know it hard for the recently scratched liberals to understand this, but It's perfectly okay to decommission a weapon, you don't have to use it on people to get rid of it.
