Volume 2: Staggering Vx Gas

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    VX gas VX gas is a nerve agent more toxic than sarin and one of the deadliest chemical weapons.  It is also a colorless, odorless, oily liquid that turns into a gas when exposed to oxygen.  The industrial products are slightly yellow, yellow or brown in color. When stored, they will decompose a small amount of mercaptans and therefore have a smell. The liquid is mainly used to contaminate the ground and objects. It can be spread through the air or water and is almost undetectable.  Contact with human skin or inhalation will cause poisoning. Headache and nausea are the main symptoms of infection with this poisonous gas.  VX gas can cause central nervous system disorder, respiratory arrest, and ultimately death.  vx is a transliteration. It is a poison first discovered by the British in 1952. Later, the Americans selected vx as the focus of the development of chemical warfare agents. The scientific name of vx poison is s (2 diisopropylaminoethyl).  ) Ethyl methylphosphonothioate, this substance probably has the longest name among poisons.  Vx is mainly loaded in artillery shells, bombs and other projectiles, and is used by explosive dispersion methods. It can also be sprinkled by aircraft. Vx poison poisons the ground and object surfaces with its liquid droplets; it poisons the air with its vapor and aerosol.  The protection against VX poison is the same as the protection against other nerve agents. Full-body protective equipment should be adopted, that is, gas masks, anti-virus, anti-gas gloves, anti-gas boots, etc. Atropin can be used for first aid for poisoned persons.  Disinfectants such as hypochlorite and sodium dichloroisocyanate can be used for disinfection.  VX is a typical persistent poison, and its killing effect lasts from several hours to several days and nights.  The poisoning time of VX poison is longer than other nerve poisons, and the toxicity is stronger. The fatal dose is 10 mg. If a small drop of VX liquid drops on the skin, if it is not disinfected and treated in time, it can cause death.  VX chemical ammunition is mainly used for delayed chemical attacks, hindering the opponent's maneuvers, preventing and restricting the opponent's use of favorable terrain and equipment, and weakening its combat capabilities. The U.S. military currently equips nearly 3,000 tons of VX poison, with more than 10 kinds of ammunition, mainly  There are E21 VX poison missile warheads, the poison weight is 190 grams; M55 155mm VX poison rockets, the poison weight is 45 grams; M121 and M122 VX poison shells, the poison weight is 3 kilograms; mm howitzer M42 UX poison shells, the poison  Weighing .4kg; TMU28/B type liquid warfare agent aircraft dispenser, loaded with 1kg of poison.  VX is far more famous than other nerve agents because in the late 1900s, there were several "embarrassing" incidents related to VX poison ammunition.  In March 1988, the U.S. Army conducted a series of tests using nerve agents at the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.  Around the afternoon of March 13, an F4 Phantom jet roared over the base, and tanks hanging below the plane sprinkled VX liquid onto an unmarked ground.  One of the canisters malfunctioned.  Most of the venom had been spilled at the intended height, but about a kilogram of poison remained in the malfunctioning canister.  As the jet flew off its course, VX agent leaked from the canister.  At that time, the plane was still high in the sky, and the wind speed reached 5 kilometers/hour.  The nerve gas floats in the air before drifting to the floor of Skull Valley.  This location is approximately 32 kilometers from the test site.  A few hours later a large number of sheep grazing in the valley were poisoned and died.  Local photographers and television workers rushed to the scene after hearing the news and witnessed with their own eyes 1,000 dead sheep being thrown into hastily dug trenches.  In the words of the US military press release officer: Domestic and international publicity reports from on-site witnesses dealt a fatal blow to the US chemical and biological warfare program.  In the summer of 1999, bad news came unexpectedly.  At the U.S. military base in Okinawa, Japan, VX nerve agent leaked from a container, poisoning 23 soldiers and sending them to the hospital.  This makes the incident doubly serious, because it not only makes people more uneasy about the security measures of the chemical weapons base, but also makes the Japanese government know that chemical weapons are still stored on their soil.  It is a well-known fact that the United States once used Panama as a simulated tropical jungle battlefield for testing and training. However, before that, the United States only admitted that it had conducted chemical weapons tests on San Jose Island in the Pacific Ocean south of Panama, and reached an agreement with the Panamanian government on this.  to jointly clear out what's left of it, but the agreement has yet to be fulfilled.  According to the book "King of the Jungle" published by American researcher John Lindsay in the Panama capital in 2003, the US military conducted chemical weapons tests in the Panama Canal area in the 1900s, including the highly toxic VX agent.  In the book, Lindsay Pollan collected declassified documents from many US military agencies. These documents show that the US military transported 3 tons of VX poison to Panama in July 1944 for use in landmine and missile testing.  VX agent was used in landmine tests from 194 to 198.  The mines, each weighing 24 pounds, were detonated on beaches dozens of kilometers away from the Panama Canal outlet to observe the effects of these chemical weapons in a tropical environment. The remains of these mines were finally put into oil drums and thrown into the sea.  In addition, it is worth mentioning that VX gas bombs have also shined in Hollywood blockbusters. In the American blockbuster "Shattered" (also translated as "The Island") starring Nicolas Cage, after hundreds of battles, he won the  General Hugh Frank of the US Marine Corps, who has won multiple medals, led his men to steal a new VX gas bomb.  They then took control of Akala Island.  This was originally a prison and is now a tourist destination.  All tourists on the island have become hostages.  General Frank used gas bombs and people to?Ask the country for $100 million to compensate the Marines killed in action who were unfairly treated.  Nicolas Cage stars as chemical expert Stanley and the old British agent Mason sneaks into Akala Island to dismantle a gas bomb and battles wits with the rebels, creating a thrilling drama on the screen.  !  ~!
