Russia to complete chemical weapons destruction at 4 of 5 facilities by end of 2015

At 4 facilities the destruction of dangerous stockpiles will be completed by the end of 2015, and at the 5th facility will continue the process of destruction for the next 5 years




MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. The transfer of 4 of Russia’s 5 chemical weapons destruction facilities to economic turnover is planned to be completed by the end of 2015. This issue is put on the agenda of Friday’s meeting of the State Commission on chemical disarmament.
"As of January 29, Russia has destroyed nearly 34,000 tons of toxic substances, or 84.8% of the declared stockpiles of chemical weapons," the press service of the Russian presidential envoy to the Volga Federal District, Chairman of the State Committee on chemical disarmament Mikhail Babich, said.
At the moment, 5 facilities are in operation — Maradykovsky (Kirov region), Leonidovka (Penza region), Shchuchye (Kurgan Region), Pochep (Bryansk region) and Kizner (Udmurtia). "At 4 facilities the destruction of dangerous stockpiles will be completed by the end of 2015, and only the Kizner facility will continue the process of chemical weapons destruction for the next 5 years," the press service said.
According to the press service, the phase of liquidation of the so-called complex ammunition, a very complicated engineering and technological process that requires specific safety measures, has begun.

Russia two years ahead in destroying chemical weapons — official

DOn't believe for a second they will destroy their chemicals..
What they will only do , is destroy the ones controlled by the government ,
but in underground facilities private companies will continue making them.
Also they could continue producing them outside USA.  in any part of europe or middle east.

Just look at the CIA illegal prisons in Europe.. they exist.. to bypass the laws in US about
torture in US territory.  All said the American Elite never plays fair or follow any international
law if it is against their interest.

Now that i think about that.. Russia should be prepared from US supplying very lethal chemical
weapons to Ukraine..to use it against Russia. Is a bad idea that Russia stop their chemical weapons program completely , they any possible deterrence against the west.

Same with biological weapons. When you have US generals calling for the killing of many
Russians ,right in their mainstream media ,it will be wrong for Russia to disarm .some chemical weapons can be very useful ,specially against terrorist , like the ones used in the theater .. in a terrorist hostage situation..it can neutralize terrorist without destruction of property .however they are not good against civilians.

Well if usa is doing what you've said i dont thin Russia will destroy its chemical weapons completely either . Just showing off to whole world . Russia aint stupid dude .

Russia confirms its bid to cooperate on biological weapons ban as threat grows

The threat of biological weapons remains real and even grows against the background of technological advance of dual purpose

MOSCOW, April 6. /TASS/. Russia is ready to cooperate with all interested states on the basis of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

The convention, banning the development, production and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons remains the main legally binding document, it said, confirming that Russia "is ready to cooperate with all interested states on this basis".

The threat of biological weapons remains real and even grows against the background of technological advance of dual purpose, the director of the ministry’s department for nonproliferation and arms control, Mikhail Ulyanov, told a meeting in Geneva marking 40 years since the convention came into effect, listing Russia’s initiatives on the issue.

They include a proposal to create a mechanism of investigation into suspected use of biological weapons, initiated by the affected state and carried out on its territory, as well as concrete measures of aid and protection in case biological weapons were used.

"Our package proposal also included the following elements: development of international cooperation for peaceful purposes, national implementation, confidence building measures, creation of a permanent consultative agency for monitoring technological advance related to the BWC," Ulyanov said.

RUSSIA has gone bonkers lately ,seriously . Did they forget US was testing bio weapons in Georgia in 2013 where russia accused muricans for testing such weapons in their sphere . Have US banned its bio weapons ? Nope .

Moscow concerned over US medico-biological labs placement at Russian borders . US encircling Russia with bioweapons labs, covertly spreads them


The Foreign Ministry said the "Richard G. Lugar Public Health Research Centre" in Georgia is a medical research division of the US Army
Moscow is deeply concerned over the Pentagon’s activity to place its medico-biological laboratories near Russian borders

The US is obstructing international efforts to eradicate biological weapons, seeking to involve other nations covertly in research on weaponized diseases, Moscow charged. America’s record of handling bioweapons is poor.

The accusations of mishandling biological weapons voiced by the Russian Foreign Ministry refer to a recent report that the US military shipped live anthrax by mistake. Last week, the Pentagon admitted sending samples of the highly dangerous disease to at least 51 labs in 17 US states and three foreign countries.

The delivery “posed a high risk of outbreak that threatened not only the US population, but also other countries, including Canada and Australia. Of great concern is the shipment of bacteria to a US military facility in a third country, the Osan Air Base in South Korea,” the Russian ministry said in a statement.

It added that an anthrax outbreak incident occurred in 2001, which also involved a US military lab.

They want to start a biological war, let them, just remember Russia can make those weapons as well and spread them.

Lets be clear: usa use force as a detterence in all cases. Its a pursuasive mean of making things. Why russia should not use?

because US is a signatory of International Eradication of Biological Weapons . Ofcoures if ussa doesn't stop Russia will stop neutralizing its stockpile . Moreover why US is doing it near Russain borders ? Russia can renew its Bio weapon program . russia has smallpox viruses , even their researchers were studying the ebola vrius too in Africa .

max steel wrote: Moreover why US is doing it near Russain borders ? Russia can renew its Bio weapon program .

For Obvious reasons.. Americans want to threaten Russia security psychologically in any possible way.. with nukes ,chemical weapons and biological weapons deployed at Russian Borders.. by deploying ISIS militants camps near Russia .. Storing Biological weapons near Russian Borders could be used to Blackmail Russia.

This is the reason why Russia needs to get very close mexico or Cuba
and install military bases with nuclear weapons aiming at US cities , and following
later with Biological missiles..  You cannot deal with americans with international laws or human rights.. you need to use FORCE because thats the only thing they understand..

Russia needs to accelerate their Space forces ,and deploy many of their nuclear weapons in space orbiting launchers.. break all nuclear and weapons treaties.. and once you have nukes orbiting space permanently secretly hidden inside satellites..  Russia could launch a preventive total destruction strike on America withing 1-2 minute and wipe most US military facilities ,shutdown
its electric grid and strike on their submarines ,aircraft carriers fleets. . Because the missiles will
come from a very high altitude.. their Aegis defenses will be useless. The they will have very little time to do anything..


because of the mentality of American Neocons.. i do not see ever the possibility of peace .
They will only continue threatening the security of Russia more and more.. and any small
nuclear interchange will become a total full scale one..  Because... Russia had enough of
American exceptionalism.. and when you have an enemy.. wanting to destroy your nation
again and again and again.. for so many years ,you are left with no choice but a full scale
nuclear war... even if. americans retaliate with a small tactical nuke or biological weapon ,
were only a few thousand die..  If you allow Psychopaths, like the American Neocons.. to
get away with a few hundred of Russians killed in Russian territory by an US attack.. they will only increase their hostilities the next time..  If they do it one time.. they will do it a second one and a third.. In short Russia policy had to be one of Full scale nuclear war ,without any cease of fire until at least all US navy , defense industry , Government buildings airforce and submarines
destroyed.. The nation USA cannot be allowed to continue to exist ..as a military or economic power ,if they do something really stupid.. Like providing chemical weapons to Chechens and later they use it in moscow killing hundreds there.

because i do not see Americans backing down its obsession to destroy Russia.. and i do not see americans ever caring about opposing their government . They will continue their support.
Russia will have no choice than counter their enemies or risk their nation destruction.. and prepare for the unthinkable and start deploying its nukes ,thousands of them undercovertly in Space. and be ready for a crushing desproportionate response to USA military if hundreds of Russia citizens killed in Russia territory consequence of American Hostile aggression or their help to terror groups to attack Russia.

maybe they are just studying those for medical purposes like treating affected people? being that bioweapons are more likely to be used against them; nk, iran, syria? etc.

the article also states the labs are near Russian borders but its only really true for the lab in SK and maybe Alaska.

even north korea has accused usa on planning to commit genocide in n.korea via biological weapon . ussa mistakenly or delibrately delivered anthrax at south korea's ussa  base .

The new machines will armed forces chemical corps of the Russian Federation until 2018

http://ria.ru/defense_safety/20150627/1095187219.html

MOSCOW, 27 Jun — RIA Novosti. New equipment will appear on the armament of troops of radiation, chemical and biological defense (NBC) of the Russian Federation in the period 2016-2018, said Saturday the Deputy chief of the troops of major-General Igor Klimov.
"We carried out the modernization of machines, and in accordance with the state defense order is carried out several development works. They will help us for 2016 and 2018 to change cars to newer, modern and perspective on how to conduct reconnaissance and special treatment, and aerosol disguise," said Klimov in the program "General staff" at the radio station RSN.
He added that in the next two years NBC protection troops plan to adopt a new reconnaissance vehicle.
"We are currently in development and planned in 2016-2017 to adopt machine RKHM-8 and RKHM-9" — said Klimov.
The Deputy chief of chemical corps noted that these machines will differ from previous versions by placing the equipment on different types of the base chassis.
"They will be placed on modern base chassis with completely redesigned instrument basis and as part of the cars planned inclusion of unmanned aerial vehicles, which will increase the possibility of NBC defence by 40-50%," — said Klimov.
He noted that we are working on creating a new type of gas masks for NBC protection troops

The American company Black & Veatch, which is among the contractors of the US military establishment, despite the lack of permits, continues to build not far from Kharkov biological laboratory, which could potentially develop biological weapons.

Construction is in the village Shelkovichnaya, just 800 meters from the residential areas of the town Merefa and 25 km from Kharkov. Officially, it's called "central reference laboratory" in which will also be open "Depository" - the storage of dangerous bacteriological materials, including, for example, pathogenic strains of plague, anthrax and other diseases, is of interest not only to biologists, but also military.

The laboratory, which, according to local environmentalists are not allowed Ukrainians built on the money of the Pentagon as part of the project "Reduction of biological threats in Ukraine" under the agreement "On cooperation in the field of preventing the proliferation of technology, pathogens and expertise that can be used to develop biological weapons "between Ukraine and the USA. However, the validity of the project ended in May 2013. But the construction of new laboratory facilities continues, there is more that with the advent of the new government concern Merefa residents about the potential dangers of previously publicly shown, quickly stopped.

Laboratory in Merefa - not the first, not the only, but the biggest. Earlier, in 2010, in the presence of then-Ambassador to Ukraine John Tefft on the basis of the Odessa Mechnikov Anti-Plague Research Institute was opened like a biological center with the admission to work with strains that are used to create biological weapons. Also as part of this project were built from scratch in the laboratory of Lviv, Vinnytsia, Uzhgorod, Kherson, which are now preserved and are just waiting for the American "scientists."

Anybody who believes that Russia or USA will get rid of their chemical weapons is a very naive person...

Well american will end their chemical stockpile prior to russians . Russians chemical stockpile is greater than yank's . Read it on net . Rest usa is playing dangerous game by opening biological labs near russian borders . If they're so eager for research why don't they export samples from georgia and Ukraine . but Russia will do nothing except complaining . They need to behave like Israelis bomb it to oblivion before they make it operational .

I really think , that if people knew what really happened in 9/11 WTC in 2001.. people will not have any doubts what are americans are thinking with their Biological Laboratories right
there at Russian Borders.. From so many places in the world , why will americans have a need
to build laboratories in Ukraine and Georgia close to Russian Borders.. ?

Is nothing good..
This is why , The possibility of a nuclear war is not out of the question.. all that it takes
is that someone do something really stupid in Ukraine against Russia.. like launching
an american supplied tomahawk cruise missile filled with Biological and chemical weapons on Russia,for world war 3 to start.

Russia will need to supply the Rebels in the front line with chemical and biological protection
and be ready for Ukraine use of any lethal weapons against Rebels and civilians or their own
nation.

10 new regiments of RXBZ (Chemical Troops) formed in the Russian Ground Forces replacing old battalions for the Combined Armies. Has anyone else seen anything on this.

Russia destroys 90 percent of its chemical weapons

US only remaining ( 10%) Chemical weapons stockpile is in Colorado and Kentucky . But latest :

780,000 chemical weapons being destroyed in Colorado

On the site "Leonidovka" in the Penza region completed destruction of stored there chemical warfare agents, "Interfax-AVN" on Monday, Head of the Federal Department for Safe Storage and Destruction of Chemical Weapons, Colonel-General Valery Kapashin.
"Yesterday at the facility" Leonidovka "in the Penza region was sent to destroy the last ammunition with poison gas," - said V.Kapashin.
According to him, the reaction mass processing and roasting of metal buildings will last another month. "The full completion of the works for the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles in Leonidovka scheduled for September 22. On this occasion, a ceremony will be held," - said the general.
He noted that the object "Leonidovka" became the third Russian facility for destruction of chemical weapons to cope with this task. Before him, in 2005 and 2009. Respectively, were destroyed stockpiles of objects "Mountain" in the Saratov region and "Kambarka" in the Udmurt Republic.
"Until the end of the year, chemical weapons will be completely destroyed three more Russian projects:" Pochep "in the Bryansk region," Maradykovsky "in the Kirov region and the" Pike "in the Kurgan region. In 2016, Russia will be only one object on which to continue elimination of toxic substances - is an object "Kizner" in the Udmurt Republic. There's work will continue for another few years ", - said V.Kapashin.
According to him, just at the moment, the country has destroyed about 91% of the available stocks of chemical weapons.
