I just want to ask as i cant say i am interested about it. i know a proffessor that tells me that DU is as dangerous as normal U in terms of radioactvity and that is responsible for a contamination in serbia, bosnia, iraq,afghanistan and now in Lybia too( note that surely might not be the only hazard). I suppose that they use it perhaps against armour, but i can also have an idea for why using it on wings...
does anybody knows soemthing about?
