Russia expresses concern to India
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for the last 8 months. Meanwhile, Russia has expressed concern about many problems with India including the dirty bomb. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had a phone conversation with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday. During this, the situation deteriorating due to the war was discussed.

Zelensky calls the use of dirty bombs a rumor
Ukrainian President Zelensky has vehemently rejected Russia's claim. Zelensky said that rumors are being spread against us. The Russian military itself is trying to use the dirty bomb and is accusing Ukraine of diverting attention from its activities.
what is a dirty bomb
Technically it is called a radiological dispersal device. It does not contain direct radioactive content. Instead, radioactive waste (radiative waste) is used. They do not pose a great risk of killing people, but they can spread a lot of diseases. These include cancer.
Nuclear weapons destroy miles away and millions of people can be killed in a matter of minutes. Dirty bombs are not that dangerous. Nuclear weapons consist of pure materials of uranium and plutonium. Dirty bombs contain atomic waste. Secondly, it is used with dynamite.
In a report released two years ago by ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), it was said - Dirty bombs can cause significant damage to a fixed or target area. The range of damage in a nuclear attack is very large. If the wind is strong, it can affect hundreds of kilometers away. The radiation from a dirty bomb is not very high and far away.
When was the dirty bomb used?
Dirty bombs have never been used anywhere in the world. However, in many places, such an attack has been attempted.
In 1996, Chechnya rebels planted a dirty bomb in Izmailovo Park in Moscow. The security forces came to know about the bomb, after which it was defused.
In 1998, Chechnya security forces defused a dirty bomb planted on the side of a railway line.
In 2002, Jose Padilla, a US citizen with ties to al-Qaeda, was arrested. Padilla was accused of planning a dirty bomb attack in Chicago. He was sentenced to 21 years.
In 2004, Dhiren Berat, a British citizen with ties to al-Qaeda, was arrested. Berat was sentenced to 30 years in prison for planning dirty bomb attacks in the US and UK.
