Sure they're not talking about WP? Reporters are rather notorious for giving out the wrong details  |
I can’t remember how reliable my source was - as I said. It could have been a news reporter (i.e. unreliable) or it may have been a defence journal or Russian eyewitness account. The Russians certainly used WP in Groznyy. And, as Marek has pointed out, their smoke shells probably contained white phosphorus as well.
