For comparison, Russia has been equipping their modern tanks with depleted uranium since Dec 2018.

Wait what, a tank in a warzone got blown up? Who could have predicted something like this could have happened? Totally unexpected and I am sure no one thought this was possible before sending it in. It's almost like there is a cost to war.

wow it's a good thing that we care so much for our Ukrainian friends that we give them all sorts of weapons that are totally safe for them to use

Much safer than getting massacred by Russians.
