L’esplosione di bombe termobariche in zone abitate costituisce crimine di guerra

le pagine dei nostri libri

Sembra che la Russia stia utilizzando in Ucraina bombe termobariche dette anche bombe a vuoto che, nelle sue versioni più grandi, creano esplosioni più forti di quelle prodotte da un piccolo ordigno nucleare. Foto e video pubblicati in questi giorni sembrano infatti mostrare numerosi lanciatori Tos-1 russi, dotati di missili termobarici.

Normalmente una molecola di esplosivo contiene al suo interno sia il carburante sia l’ossidante necessari a generare la reazione esplosiva . Di solito in una bomba termobarica l’ossidante utilizzato è l’ossigeno dell’atmosfera e questo permette di avere bombe molto più efficienti a parità di peso, poiché non hanno bisogno di contenere il loro ossidante.

Questo tipo di esplosivo funziona in due fasi. Una prima esplosione nebulizza il contenuto della bomba (una mistura di combustibile e di particelle metalliche) formando una nuvola di aerosol infiammabile che nelle bombe più grandi può raggiungere un diametro di decine e decine di metri.

Shipping group Maersk will temporarily halt all container shipping to and from Russia in response to Western sanctions on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine, the company said on Tuesday (March 1).

The move follows similar decisions by Singapore-headquartered Ocean Network Express, Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd and Swiss-based shipping group MSC.

The suspension, covering all Russian ports, will not include foodstuffs, and medical and humanitarian supplies, Maersk said.

Face masks play a crucial role, new Covid research confirms – Chalmers

An international research team from universities including Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, the University of Padua and the University of Udine in Italy, and the University of Vienna, Austria, has developed a new theoretical model to better assess the risks of spreading viruses such as Covid-19 – with and without a face mask. The results show how the standard ‘safe’ distance of two meters does not always apply but varies greatly depending on a range of environmental factors, and that face masks can indeed play a crucial role.

Sen. Wendy Rogers censured by Arizona Senate in bipartisan vote

Senate President Karen Fann said this was not a freedom of speech issue and that she would not tolerate members threatening each other and calling fellow Republicans “communists,” which Rogers did early in the day on social media.

“This certainly is not something I wanted to do. It hurts us; it pains us to have to do this,” said Fann, R-Prescott, who voted “yes” on the censure. “But what we do not condone is members threatening each other, to ruin each other, to incite violence, to call us ‘communist.’ We don’t do that to each other.”

While “everybody” has the right to free speech, “that does not give you leeway to threaten people or to say whatever you want then claim it’s under freedom of speech,” she said.
