According to a recent report by the US "Defense" magazine, the US government reported that the US military used about 18 billion small arms and ammunition every year. The "Global Security" of the Washington military research organization disclosed that the guns stationed in the US military in Iraq had been "crashing" last year, so it is especially important to produce and store more ammunition. At present, there are about several billion tons of various ammunition stored in the world. How to manage and maintain such a large amount of ammunition can be said to be racking brains. Powerful but naturally delicate Storing a sufficient amount of ammunition is an important military task for every major country. During the storage process, the fearsome and powerful weapons and ammunition in the wartime were very delicate, and they were easily affected by moisture and temperature, causing the outer casing to rust or causing the internal ammunition to deteriorate or even fail. Dumb bombs, "smelly bombs." In addition to conventional ammunition, nuclear weapons are the top priority in the arsenal of nuclear powers. The most important thing in maintenance is to ensure that the uranium and plutonium inside the weapons are in a good and stable state. The management of chemical weapons is also a tricky thing. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union stockpiled 40,000 tons of chemical weapons, and the United States stocked 35,000 tons. In addition, a large number of biological weapons were stored in the arsenals of the two countries. Unlike nuclear weapons, the protection focus of biochemical weapons storage is largely not due to its internal biochemical agents, mainly on the outer cylinder of biological weapons. If the outer casing of the chemical and biological weapons has exceeded the service life, it is theoretically possible to crack at any time and a poison leakage occurs. In practice, some biochemical weapons outer cylinders appear to have tiny cracks during the service life. The harm caused by an accident is enormous. For example, the soil and surface water of some areas where the British army stored mustard gas during World War II were polluted and still cannot be completely eliminated. Every country has its own cheats "Use zero deposits, use old and save new" is the general storage management principle of war preparations in various countries. How to safely store weapons and ammunition and extend the life of ammunition has become one of the most concerned issues for military forces in various countries. Some military powers have more tricks in ammunition storage and management. The US arsenal has the highest degree of automation, with the largest number of arsenals in the world (there are data showing that there are nearly 2,000). Many arsenals are equipped with various types of dehumidification, constant temperature and dust removal facilities, just like "underground palaces". A complete network information system has also been set up in the warehouse. All kinds of ammunition are registered in the bar code when they are put into storage. Which ones are due and which are to be sampled and checked are managed by the computer and remind the staff on time. In addition, robots are widely used in military warehousing. For example, the US Army used a six-legged robot called "Octopus" in carrying out ammunition and various dangerous operations, and was able to carry 409 kg of heavy ammunition while walking. Russia’s arsenal is spread all over the country, and almost all major cities have Russian ammunition depots. It is very interesting that many arsenals were originally built in the suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s, but with the expansion of the city and the emergence of new communities, many arsenals naturally changed to urban areas. In order to ensure safety, the Russian military transferred some of its arsenals to the ground. What's more, some underground arsenals have also built civilian facilities. According to the Russian "Moscow Communist Youth League" report, after the transformation of the base arsenal of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine, the above is the dormitory area of ​​the sailors' families, and the battalion is at the foot of the residents. India put the arsenal in the grass of the desert. There are 15 large arsenals in India, and the total weight of ammunition in each arsenal is generally more than 100,000 tons. Surprisingly, most of these arsenals are built in the grass of one person, and 60% of them live in simple canvas awnings. It turned out that this practice has always been the tradition of the Indian army. Because the Indian Army believes that planting grass around the arsenal saves money and provides good concealment during enemy air raids, and the simple canvas canopy will hardly attract too much attention. It is harder to store and destroy Ammunition that exceeds the period of use is generally destroyed. But the weapons and ammunition destruction process can be said to be both complicated and costly. First, the amount of ammunition destroyed is huge. According to statistics, only the munitions originally planned by Russia in 2001-2005 include 8,000 missiles and mines, 100 million shells, 40,000 missile warheads, 20,000 aerial bombs and 10,000 torpedoes. Second, it costs a lot. The US Department of Defense survey found that destroying chemical weapons is almost more expensive than producing it. According to experts' prediction, it will cost US$3.1 billion to destroy only the chemical weapons on the Russian side. The cost of destroying nuclear weapons is even more alarming, such as the destruction of the most commonly used raw materials for nuclear weapons, which cost as much as $60 million per ton. Third, the technical requirements are high. In order to ensure safety, all ammunition must be professionally dismantled and sorted. Sometimes, even if it costs a lot of money, there are still many hidden dangers in the whole process of destruction. It is really hard to destroy the storage. But as many scholars have pointed out, the solution to this problem is actually very simple, that is, to stop the war and no longer produce weapons and ammunition. ▲ Electric Steel Strip Decoiler,Steel Strip Decoiler,Electric Conrol Steel Strip Decoiler Roof & Wall Roll Forming Machine Co., Ltd. , http://www.wallrollformingmachine.com
