Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, noted that the US Patent and Trademark Agency had issued a document for an unmanned aerial vehicle for the spread of infected insects in the air.MOSCOW, September 3.
/tass/. The United States has developed and patented technical means of delivery and use of biological weapons based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). On the eve of the consultative meeting of the States parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons, Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, chemical and biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, recalled this on Saturday.
"There is information about the development and patenting in the United States of technical means of delivery and use of biological weapons based on UAVs. So, the US Patent and Trademark Agency issued document No. 8,967,029 for an unmanned aerial vehicle for the spread of infected insects in the air," he said at a briefing on the upcoming consultative meeting to be held on September 5-9 in Switzerland.
According to him, the description of the patent states that with the help of this device, enemy troops can be destroyed or disabled without risk to US military personnel.
Kirillov recalled that in accordance with American law, a patent in the United States cannot be issued in the absence of a real device. "Thus, it can be concluded that the container as a means of delivering biological agents was developed and produced," the general concluded.
In addition, Kirillov drew attention to the fact that Ukraine was interested in the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles with the ability to spray aerosols, which was previously made public by the Russian military. "We have confirmation of Ukraine's request to the Turkish manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles Bayraktar dated December 15, 2021 on the possibility of equipping this UAV with systems and mechanisms for spraying aerosols with a capacity of over 20 liters," the general said. He stressed that with a UAV flight range of up to 300 km and equipping tanks with biological formulations, a real threat of large-scale use of biological weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation is created.
"In this regard, the question arises: for what purpose did the United States develop and patent technical means of delivering biological weapons and what is the reason for Ukraine's interest in acquiring such technical means?" Kirillov said.
