    They make for terrible publicity are impossible to clean up (in no small measure because the low radioactivity and tendency to generate lots of tiny dust on impact) and people afterwards attribute every illness to their presence. Totally not worth it this time because Russia has nothing remotely armored enough to see the effective difference in their use.


    ...but I agree their use should not be considered a big deal.

    Uranium is extremely toxic and pyrophoric, which is not a good combination.

    OTOH, with all the crap russia hast been dropping in Ukraine (including blowing up soviet-era stockpiles of solid rocket motors and other explosives which are extremely hazardous chemically, and they were supposed to take care of safely disposing of), if Ukraine wants to use toxic tank shells in order to kick the Russians out faster, they're welcome to.

    [Edit:] it's also not the densest metal. That is Osmium. And gold and tungsten (another preferred component of AP ammo) are also slightly more dense than uranium.

    Why would you think there are?

    It seems that physics education in Russia only goes up to spherical cows in a frictionless vacuum.

    The people of the Donbas didn't send a Nazi army to attack Kiev, they just wanted to be left alone. That gives them the moral high ground.
