Annex F
Assessing losses after chemical attacks
General
1. The information that is available to the person who
assesses the losses offer a definite possibility of counting
the possible losses of a sudden chemical attack. The accuracy of
the result depends on the accuracy of the available information
that cover the following matters:
a. Weather conditions and nature of the ground in the target area.
b. Preventive measures and training level of the enemy.
c. EnemyÕs reaction when a chemical attack occurs.
Ammunition expenditures
2. Ammunition expenditures are computed on the basis of the shots
that are necessary to get a certain amount of losses under certain
weather conditions.
Possible losses when using nerve agents
3. Appendix 1 lay out the possible losses when using persistent nerve agents
4. Possible losses when using toxic chemical agents
Appendix 2 lays out possible losses when using toxic chemical agents in the 3
following tables:
a. Table number (1)
Possible losses when using nerve agents
b. Table number (2)
Possible losses when using blister agents vapors
c. Table number (3)
Possible losses when spraying toxic chemical agents from aircrafts

1. Aircraft speed: 450 knots / per hour (830 Km / per hour) It flies at an
straight angle with the wind
2. Aircraft course: 1000 meters away from the edge of the upwind target . This
is determined during the targetÕs analysis.
3. Maximum downwind distance is the distance covered by downwind spray that starts upwind from the
edge of the target
