“If Britain is so firmly convinced that if this was the “Novichok” gas, then it has its chemical formula, its samples and itself is capable of producing it”, says expert on biological weapons, Ilya Dukhovlinov, who sharply criticized the findings of the British leadership. He believes that from the chemical point of view, they are absurd.
“Technically, this is not difficult to produce this gas. However, this procedure will require extremely serious security measures, otherwise the creators of such gas will kill themselves. Should be special tools: suits, hoods. This is the level of a powerful institution”, the expert explains.
“Everything that is happening looks like the work of a bad director in the theater. It is organized clumsily. To the British experts with full confidence could establish that this was “Novichok” gas, and not any other, they must necessarily have a so-called control standard. To prove that this is the very connection, it must be compared with the corresponding standard. If they say that this was namely that gas, then they a priori have a standard of this substance. So, there is a collection and a formula. This is the most important moment in this whole story.”
