Moscow’s use of chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine has led the British government to sanction Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defenses and its commander, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov. London also sanctioned two Russian Defense Ministry laboratories for supporting the development and deployment of these weapons. (U.K. Government)

In May 2024, the U.S. determined that Russia’s systematic use of chloropicrin against Ukrainian forces violates the Chemical Weapons Convention. The State Department consequently sanctioned the same three entities now designated by the British authorities, in addition to a construction company and laboratory equipment supplier involved in Russia’s chemical weapons program.

Next Generation Aircrew Protection team conducts B-1 vapor purge testing

Nov. 20, 2023

DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --

The Next Generation Aircrew Protection team conducted the last set of vapor purge testing on the B-1B Lancer at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, November 7.

Comprised of six organizations from the Air Force and civilian sector, the NGAP team focused on purge times for the B-1B in the event of an airborne chemical attack.

During testing, a vapor simulant known as methyl salicylate, or wintergreen oil, was injected into the aircraft. Sensors placed inside the cockpit measured how long it took for the vapor to be purged during flight.

“Ultimately, the goal of this testing was to investigate and define how long it takes an aircraft to reduce a chemical concentration in the crew areas to levels where the crew can safely remove their protective gear,” said Dr. Richard Salisbury, 711th Human Performance Wing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear analyst. “This research is important because we need to understand how long it takes to get back into optimal fighting conditions and inform commanders.”

The NGAP team lays the groundwork for future CBRN protective gear while assisting aircrews in the present using the data collected from testing. The team analyzes the purge times on each aircraft and creates data sets showcasing the vapor concentrations at different times during flight. This allows them to find the safest time for aircrew to remove any protective gear and continue flying after an attack.

“Without this testing and the subsequent data, the B-1B aircrew would be required to wear full chemical gear throughout the duration of a mission,” said Lt. Col. Dane Kidman, 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron director of operations. “B-1B sorties can last up to 30 hours during contingency operations, and with this data in hand, the aircrew can now remove CBRN equipment safely in flight which increases aircrew endurance. This will ultimately give the Air Force the ability to employ the B-1B in locations susceptible to chemical weapon attacks with lowered risk to the mission because the data provided gives the aircrew those tools for survival.”

Prior to the B-1B test event at Dyess, testing was conducted on the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and C-130J Super Hercules and will continue onto the B-52 Stratofortress next.

“One of the points of this effort is to ensure Air Force aircrews are able to operate and execute their mission in any scenario and that includes CBRN,” said 1st Lt. Gunnar Kral, Air Force CBRN Defense Systems Branch lead engineer for joint aircrew protection. “The NGAP program is coming along with a lot of great results, executing a lot of tests at a high frequency. The work done by the team is extremely important and, while we hope it won’t be used, it is 100% relevant in today's environment.”

IDF Destroys Hezbollah's Underground Missile Factory In Syria

Israel defense forces destroyed a underground missile factory operating in Syrian hills near Lebanon border. This factory is reported to be operated by Iran and was main source of arms supply to Hezbollah.

Israel Govt. is keeping a silent over it and not claiming responsibility as not to provoke a retaliatary action by Syria, Iran and Hezbollah.

The destruction of the factory gave a severe blow to Iran and Hezbollah's efforts to produce medium-range precision missiles on Syrian territory.

Sources said that the Iranians decided to build an underground factory deep inside a mountain in Masyaf(Syria) so that it could not be penetrated by Israeli air strikes.

Israeli intelligence services discovered the factoty some five years ago and monitored it for five years under the code name "Deep Layer". It was realized that the factory could not be destroyed with an airstrike and the forces would need a ground operation to destroy it, said by Israeli sources.

The Israeli military considered conducting the operation at least twice in recent years but it wasn't approved because of the high risk, sources said

Finally in a risky ground operation special forces of Israel used explosives they brought with them in order to blow up the underground facility including sophisticated machinery. The special forces also collected important documents from the site. To cover the ground operation, air strikes were done by Israeli forces to prevented the Syrian military from sending reinforcements to the area.

Israel very cleverly and secretly cutting the wings of Iran and its proxy Forces like Hamas, Hezbollah etc. The missile factory running in the hills of Syria was an underground and hidden factory. This factory at the border of Lebanon was the main source of weapon for Hezbollah and said to be making unconventional war fares like chemical, radiological and biological weapons also.
