Use of phosporus munitions by Russia, Iraq and others edit

Latest comment: 25 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article covers US and Israel, but does not cover the use of such weapons by Russia, Iraq and other countries, which creates a one-sided view. It would be good to add these sections. 84.127.85.203 (talk) 12:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Russia is mentioned already, in connection with the First Chechen War and Second Chechen War, as well the Syrian Civil War. Iraq could be added. Brandmeister^talk 19:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
