I don't believe the DU is just the tip, its the whole projectile that goes into barrel and the friction create dangerous dust that may harm the shooters.

The shell comes out of the barrel and half way to the target it separates into three pieces and the core keeps going to the target.

about 6:30 into this video shows how it works

This bloody deployment of DU to Ukraine will provoke more bloodshed and anger by the Russian army as they are aware what horror the DU Will be causing them.

Either that or they will simply apply the "turnabout is fair play" thing to their military strategies.

Which may be what is intended on the highest levels behind this war, the unseen ones that are actually directing the game for their own intentions, not the ones we see playing it.

The deep state has been trying to foment a war with Russia ever sense the fall of the USSR.   A think tank group (PNAC) laid out ways to ensure the USA's global hegemony for the future.  Victoria Nuland has been one of the key figures of this.   She has worked to foment most of the wars we've been in since then.  Her and several CIA guys fomented the overthrow of the Government of Ukraine in 2014 and immediately started pushing into NATO.    Putin has warned us not to do that and compared it to them being in Cuba and warned he would go to Nuclear War to stop it.  It's interesting that the only time we have not been starting or fighting wars was when Donald Trump was president.....  She was not in any government offices during that time period.

If you are the heads of a country and she shows up on your doorstep you are in trouble.

And we wait;

I imagine that is why he is not a President anymore, and will not be allowed to become one again.

In today's world, you either play the game or you get booted out of it.

I studied up on her. She has been a player for some time and at the center of much.

Deep state for sure. Merkel sure did not like her atatement about the UN usurping the EU in that affair.

From My perspective, we are about to loose the game....      it is looking more and more that the rest of the world is getting tired of playing.

She didn't like her comment on the Nordstream pipeline being a chunk of metal in the bottom of the sea either saying it was a good thing.

Even with our many failed nation building experiments, much of the world has looked to us as a stablizing force.

If China is not dealt with and the Monroe Doctrine not resurrected, we are surely fading away.

A vacuum is generally filled quickly.

From what i read, the soldier who fire a DU amunition is vulnerable to radiation as well. Is that true ?

Yes. Depleted uranium ordnance was used by coalition ground forces during Desert Storm (the Gulf War), and continued to be used by U.S. forces during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Middle East in general is littered with depleted uranium ordnance, and both natives and military personnel have suffered the effects of particulate uranium poisoning. 

Uranium poisoning is a possible cause behind Gulf War Syndrome. A friend who was assigned to the 24th Infantry Division in Kuwait during the war suffers from Gulf War Syndrome. When I met with him and his wife over 30 years ago, clumps of his hair were falling out, he was losing teeth (they were loose and falling out), and he was suffering from cognitive impairment.
