Title: Okay; Sarin found from Iraq
Post by: Staga on November 17, 2004, 05:40:55 PM
Guess US was right after all and there really was WMDs in Iraq; WMDs which really were a threat for United States.
Sorry I was so sceptical.

Hey!

And by the look of that cyrillic writing; you guys sold it to them under the guise of the United Nations "Oil for WMD program"....

or was that:

"Oil for lots of money while the children starve and people blame the USA" program??

If its real, sure does take the wind outa a few peoples sails.

Just a side opinion...Saddam had about 5 years to hide the WMDs if he had them. I dont think we would find them right off the bat.

Because English is basically the most universally spoken and understood language in the world, it is widely used on products all over the world.

Equally why would you keep antidotes in glass vials as opposed to ready to go hyperdermic packs?

It supposed to be Sarin - not a ham or a bottle of visine. I wouldn't expect the instructions to be in 3 languages to satisfy the masses.

Well I wont ruin the fun, but I still know the cigarette in another thread was retouched. Why? No clue. But It was retouched - perhaps it was a Viginia slims and thats wan't macho enough. Perahaps it looked like a joint, dunno. But it was retouched.

Its not as easy to explain in a short post as I expected, so just label me a nut :D

I've never been in the "army" but I will excuse your remark as pure and simple ignorence.  I was a US Marine.....there is a difference ;)

but Honest question so honest answer.  The only chemical or anti chemical weapons I've ever sean that come in objects that look like that would be antidotes.

BUT

I've only been schooled in the Basics of chemical warfare so I would not count me as a definative source.

Those could be inserts for mortars or artillery.  That would explain why they are in glass.  Insert the glass rod, launch mortar motar hits glass breaks Nerve agent dispersed.   I don't see any seringes or injectors in there but that dosent mean they aren't there.

Furthermore, the standard US auto injector that our forces use comes in a plastic tube that has a spring loaded needle.

Why would anyone in Iraq need sarin gas detectors?

In case of a lab accident?  

In case the Iranians retaliated?

Oh well, who doesn't have a few sarin detectors laying around the house at any given moment.

So you think it is pretty innocent that the terrorist in Falluja have Sarin nerve gas detectors?

You think they might need them in case the Bad Ol' US of A dropped a load of Sarin on the town?

So why did the Iraqi Army need them?  To protect themselves from the Iranians?  

See most armies have limited funds, even the US Army.  They spend their money wisely on the most likely threats.  You don't find it interesting that the Iraqi Army or someone though Sarin was a big enough threat to go out and buy the detectors?

Face the fact: Every army in every nation has A) Detectors for nerve gases  and B) Atropine shots in their stores and, read this, IODINE pills too !
Wow! Why are there rules (at least here) that Drugstores have to keep certain amount of Iodine pills available?
Finland doesn't have nuclear weapons nor chemical weapons so why are we preparing for those?

Use your brains man: if you looks at those ampoulles you can see the "best before" year starting with 1 and I'd say it's possible that the 061081 is the manufacturing date (date of batch) which was when Iran-Iraq war was already going on, 1980 - 1988.

Face the fact:  Sarin doesn't have a shelflife neither does the antidote.  My guess is you obviously know a limited amount on the subject of GB.  BTW genius, that is the Charge Number on the box, not a "Best Before Date".  But you keep walking from one watermelon filled bucket to the next, just like your boy GScholz.  The two of you should get married.

Idiots.

These are standard VPHR device indicator tubes. Detectors for Zaman, Zarin and V-gases.

VPHR = Voyskovoy Pribor Himicheskoy Razvedki, Army Chemical Reconnaissance Device.

My Grandfather taught Civilian Defence in Leningrad Uni when he retired, so I played with this ampulas when I was a kid.

Damn. Want to buy a VPHR? Here (http://www.alvatex.ru/?target=4&prod_id=201) you can buy it online for 3300 rubles, ($1 = 28.5 rubles). It includes detector tubes for Zarin/Zoman/V-gases, storage  time 1.5 years and other indicator tubes, for phosgene, chlorine-cyanogen and diphosgene, warrnty storage time 4 years, etc. Here it is availible almost everywhere, on Civilian Defence facilities, that now take care of technogenig disasters. Phosgene, for instance, is used in many chemical factories, as well as many other substances that can be detected by VPHR.

Now go say that the fact that Iraqi Civilian Defence had gas-masks and insulated suits is a clear evidence that they had WMD.

Absolute absence of common sence and logics.

who was the most imminent threat to invade Iraq?

who did they buy nerve gas from when they used it on their own people?

  they know we've had it before, and in fact I believe we have the worlds largest stockpile of nerve agents in the world.

if you were about to be invaded by a country with a large supply of these weapons, would you like to know if it's being used on youwould you feel the need to be able to detect it.

Especially for those, who at 14 played with metal and other transformers.

These VPHR MUST BE in each Civilian Defence department in each goverment organisation or organisation with special purposes (such as medical, rescue, guard and etc.) in Russia. Also there must be DP-5 and DP-7. DP-5 is a personal capsule to count personal accumulated radiation doze. DP-7 is a usual dozemeter.

What's funny is the arrogance of the question.....like we NEEDED a civilian defense class.  What was Russia gonna do?    Drive some rust bucket over here and whoop us good?   Nah, Ivan needed to figure out how to feed himself first.

We don't need no steenking civil defense class.


Well, some of the American politicians didn't share your point of view. Some rust buckets that we have can... hmmm... cause you some problems.

As for Civilian Defence classes - so what are you going to do in case some rusty chemical plant owned by Union Carbide  will blow up spreading toxic gas all over your town? Run in circles, scream and shout?

Looks like Iraqis will do better in such a case then you. At least they are prepared to determine contamination levels in case of chemical catastrophe.

Maybe this ampoules were found in a main terrorist base in El Fallujah - a hospital?...

Funny that among US soldiers noone hade enough common sence to understand what it is. Don't they study the weapons and equipment of possible enemy? As for me - its pretty obvious that an ampoule with several compartments filled with liquid, powder and another small ampoule inside is a gas-analyser.  I understand that a person who has such a great education that they can read the word "indicator" in Cyrillic letters will probably never go to the Army, but I find it fantastic that noone checks such idiotic "news sources".

BTW, is owning a compass illegal now in Iraq? Or Marines think that a person who can use a compass and a map is a dangerous spy?

Didn't you already start teaching kids how to behave in case of chemical, biological or "dirt bomb" attack?! The more I look at you guys - the more surprised I am :confused:  You have a war with terrorists or what?

Damn. Want to buy a VPHR? Here you can buy it online for 3300 rubles, ($1 = 28.5 rubles). It includes detector tubes for Zarin/Zoman/V-gases, storage time 1.5 years and other indicator tubes, for phosgene, chlorine-cyanogen and diphosgene, warrnty storage time 4 years, etc. Here it is availible almost everywhere, on Civilian Defence facilities, that now take care of technogenig disasters. Phosgene, for instance, is used in many chemical factories, as well as many other substances that can be detected by VPHR.


Thats only a little over 100 bucks per kit.  Lets see 100 times each unit in the army.......

I find it highly unlikely with the glaring holes in Saddams conventional Military they would have spent a large amount of limited funds on detectors they did not need.  

Now if they had some Sarin gas it would make sense to get some detectors to make sure accidents do not happen.

They had a war with Iran in 1980-88, and both sides used chemical weapons.

The detector tubes for Zarin can be stored for no more then 1.5 years. The expiration date on a pack says "Oct, 1....", so it can't be used for over 5 years. "Goden do Oct. 1..." "Годен до" in Cyrillic.

It is exactly an expiration date. "Годен до" ("Goden do") means "Useful until" or "Can be used before". Not even "Best before", but "usless after".

Not that I really like taking his side but boroda makes some good points.  How many of you REALLY know what to do if a dirty bomb exploded in your city?

How many of your family know what to do?  How many people in the US know how to don and clear a gas mask?  How many people actually have gas masks in their house?  You'd think with all the information available about "possible" attacks the public would have some kind of education about "BASICS" but it's a simple fact that there is not.  

Some of these things is what almost EVERY Israli kid knows by heart.  How many know what atropine is besides what they've seen in movies?  I'm not saying at all that we need to become a militant state but I do think that some are not performing their responsabilities as public servents when it comes to protecting the populus.

Soviet Army was not using markings in English.

Glass ampoules were standard containers for medicinal drugs in the Soviet Army.
And  from my Soviet military past I even vaguelly remmember some instructions about the handling of the antidote ampoules (as far as I recollect, you should break off the spearhead-shaped tip, but do it in a snap, because there's a precut groove in the neck of the vial, ... and so on and so forth...).

Could be some leftovers from Iranian-Iraqi war.
Especially if the area where they were found is not relatively far from the border with Iran.

Boroda, the level of US journalism in foreign affaires is below floor level. They would not even bother to hire a Russian translator cuz the general understanding is that any Polak from the mail-room is an expert in Russian.
