"Novichok" means "New Guy". Invented in the 1980s. Bad stuff. I can't figure out how people handle it without dying. In the NoKo Kil-Kim's-Rival incident, they wiped VX on the guy's face with a cloth. How are the killers still alive?
-
It's a binary weapon, so it's safe to handle until both compounds are combined upon deployment or delivery.
-
Thanks for the work that you did to stick that knowledge in your brain. How do you think that the assassins in the NoKo case handled VX without dying? I mean, they wiped a cloth in the guy's face. I would have expected to die. Cpt. Waller? Camp McCall?
-
I don't know about VX, which is not a binary weapon, but one would presume that it can be delivered by protecting the hand of the assassin. Novichok can kill in microdoses much smaller than a VX dose, according to the Russian scientists I interviewed who developed it.
