The Russian Defense Ministry spoke about the US program to “disperse demonstrations” with chemical weapons. “Washington maintains significant interest in the use of riot control agents as a weapon of war,” said the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces of the Russian Armed Forces.

In 2021, after tests in Afghanistan, deliveries of VKS air rifles with chemical ammunition filled with capsaicin began to the US ground forces. Ammunition is fired at a distance of up to 50 m.
