Історія ХІМІЧНОЇ ЗБРОЇ. Від гірчичного диму до «Новічка» | WAS

Of all the weapons, it is far from the deadliest - but it is certainly the most terrifying. Chemical weapons could make enemies fall unconscious and flee in panic - but under certain circumstances, their own people suffered from a gas attack. It has been banned many times, but continues to be used. In this issue of WAS, we will talk about the history of the use of chemical weapons. You will learn why the First World War is called the war of the chemists, how people tried to escape from the effects of chlorine with urine, why poison gases were almost never used on the battlefields of World War II, and which country is most often suspected of using banned chemical munitions in our time.
