Flamethrowers and the inhumane warfare

Flamethrowers are classified as the "inhumane weapon", and they are prohibited to use in war since World War I when they made the most terrifying injuries for the troops in both sides. But the fire is one of the most effective weapons in the world because of humans afraid fire naturally, and this makes this horrifying weapon one of the most effective weapons in history.  Big size heavy flamethrowers were in the key role in the defense and offense in many battles in the WWI.  The weapon was prohibited in the same contract with the chemical weapons.

But this contract was the "dead letter", and in the WWII both axis and allies used flamethrowers in their campaigns, and especially Germans published many pictures about men who were used this weapon. And United States army used that weapon against Japanese in the Pacific campaign. Flamethrowers played a big role in the battle of Iwo Jima and also Germans used that weapon in the Eastern front. German assault engineers got success in battles and the users of the flamethrowers got extra allowances for using that weapon. That weapon was effective against fortresses because the flames kept persons out of the shooting holes and burned the oxygen from the inside when the flames were targeted to bunkers.

Flamethrowers were installed in the Bren or Universal carrier wagons, what called as "Wasp-wagons" and Sherman tanks. Also, Soviet troops equipped their T-34 tanks with flamethrowers.  Originally those weapons used petroleum and diesel oil for making the fire. Those hydrocarbons were sometimes boosted with alcohol or potassium nitrate, and those boosters increased the effect of that weapon by increasing burning temperature.

But after the WWII flamethrowers were strictly prohibited because they were meant for killing people, and the user of that device was not wanted to tell that at home. But both sides used that equipment in Korea, also French and other Europeans have used flamethrowers in the colony wars because those military actions classified as the "police operations", and Indo-China was far away from the Paris. One of the reason, for prohibiting this weapon once again the cisterns, what the user of flamethrower carried in the back was the attractive target for enemy snipers.

This is why that weapon wanted to make safer for the user. The two tanks were used because of the safety of the user, and in another tank would be pure oxygen, what makes almost every material burning, and another was filled normal food oil, what started to burn in pure oxygen. This structure was meant for making flamethrowers safer for their users, who were not very popular but effective part of the military.  In that time those weapons used napalm, and the injuries, what this hydrocarbon made was terrible. So because of psychological reasons this weapon removed from the military arsenal.

But the small number of those weapons remained in operational use against some biological weapons, and flamethrowers seemed an effective way to sterilizing large areas. After that Edgewood arsenal started to create a new type of flamethrowers, what was "marketed" as the "anti-tank weapon". This kind of flamethrowers is using normally acetylene and oxygen combination, what creates the temperature, what is over 3500 degrees Celsius. That temperature melts the tank immediately, and the targeted persons transfer to ash. This kind of weapons is extremely dangerous because they can burn material and cause injuries in the very long range away from home.

Do you know, what could mean "chemical agent"?

The term "chemical agent" is commonly used with nerve gases, and there is one very frightened meaning of that term. Agent means normally hidden or secretive working man or machine. And when we are thinking about the world "chemical agent", that could mean the chemical weapon, what have secretly installed to the bombs or some other equipment. The nerve gas is a very deadly chemical and that chemical could be very easily installed inside conventional bombs in capsule, what would be break by the normal explosive. That means that the nerve gas capsules would be put in the GP-bombs without telling that to the aircrew.


In some cases, the phosphorous rockets can be put in the rocket cassettes, what are used in the tactical aircraft.  Phosphorous is an inhumane weapon, what is strictly prohibited in international contracts. But if somebody would put the phosphorous rockets in the rocket cassettes without telling that to pilots, that means that aircraft would use this weapon, but the pilots would not even know that. That thing can cause the prosecutions against those persons.


The drones are problematic, because the operators are not seen, what the ground crew would load to those planes. Those drones can be only modified target drones, what are equipped with the capacity to drop bombs. The cockpits can be equipped with underpressure switch, what launches the destruction explosives if somebody tries to go inside the plane. And that explosive can also be the UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE GRABLE-type 15 kt. small size nuclear bomb, what is internally installed inside those planes, and if somebody would try to open the airlock, will that cause the nuclear explosion.


Also, the botulinum or ricin can be mixed in the gunpowder or smoke grenades, and that means, that those chemicals would be vaporizing during the burn. The ricin is easier to control and get. The seeds of the spurge just grind as the powder, what would be set inside the explosives. When the bomb would explode, the powder, what involves ricin would be released to the air, and that would cause terrible sequences. Ricin is the poison, what cuts the mitochondrial energy production, and that very lethal chemical would be invincible in the sensors, what are meant to uncover nerve gases.  The opiates like heroin and fentanyl are tested in the military training areas for simulating the chemical attack.


If the soldier lost the sense, that person would have died in the real attack. And also the use of opiates in the chemical weapons, like BLU-80 "BIGEYE" bombs allows capturing enemy soldiers in large scale. Those non-lethal chemical bombs can be dropped to some terrorist training camps. Those bombs would be loaded with the mixture of fentanyl and BZ, what means that they deny the enemy capacity to fight back. And then the ground troops can carry those enemies to helicopters for interrogations. Those so-called "soft methods" are investigated for handling the riots. Those gasses are safe, but if the targeted person uses injected opiates, would the attack cause the overdose.


Sometimes have been claiming that in some riot grenades would be put opiates because that would set the riot down. The opiates would be used without telling that to the field operators, what can cause deaths if some of the targeted persons have used injected narcotics. Opiate smoke is also tested to use in the hostage situations. But in the Nord Ost-case in Russia, nobody realized, that some of those persons, who were in the movie theater were used opiates, and the fentanyl-gas, what was pumped in the space, caused overdose, and deaths of over 200 persons. And that is problematic in that kind of actions.
