Russia places great emphasis on CRBN threats. This is evident in the contents of their civil defense-first aid kits, which contain antibacterial agents, radioprotective agents, an agent to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, and antidotes against some chemical poisoning.

The threat of chemical and nuclear warfare loomed large over most militaries during the Cold War. – The National Interest Photo: Brook-Ward
