Interesting Group of High-Toxic Organophosphorus Compounds

Original language description

In the second half of the last century, a piece of information appeared that the U.S. planned to introduce a new supertoxic intermediate volatility agent (IVA) into the Armed Forces with the intent to gradually replace sarin (GB) and VX agent. The aim ofthis change should have been the elimination of disadvantages, low persistence of sarin in the field in summer conditions and, as for VX agent low efficiency in overcoming any protective barrier. The introduction of this substance has been closely connected with a new technology related to munitions called binary munitions. Binary technology is based on charging munitions using two independent harmless substances which are separated in two tanks. Both substances mix during the grenade or rocket flightand form a toxic compound. This mixing can be achieved by e.g. the rupture of a membrane between the tanks due to inertial forces, and in case of artillery rockets their rotation is employed. The binary munitions mostly contained sarin, V
