I do not know well, because I am a layman in this field.
The West is lying again.
Chemical weapons are useless today.
The NBC (Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical) protection system for tanks is basically used for evacuation from an NBC attack.
When a tank is exposed to chemical weapons, everything, including the engine room, of the tank will be contaminated.
Every compartment except for the cabin inhales outside air.
All compartments must be disassembled and cleaned.
Without cleaning, supplying ammunition and fueling cannot be done.
The crew members of a tank use an oxygen generator and an air filter.
(A higher pressure in the cabin than outside must be maintained, and an oxygen generator and an air filter provide air to the cabin.)
There is no oxygen generator nor air filter which can provide air to the 1,000 horsepower engine.
When a tank contaminated with chemical weapons returns, then, at first, soldiers who wear protective clothings spray it with large amount of water to remove contamination outside the tank.
Then, after the evacuation of the crew members, clean the inside, including the engine room, etc.
First of all, an oxygen generator and an air filter for the crew can last only a few hours.
A tank can only carry enough fuel to run 500 km. (This is the case when the tank runs on a road. Normally, a tank does not run on a road.)
Protective clothing for infantry is heavy, and it is very hot when worn, so infantry wearing protective clothing cannot act for a long time.
Therefore, there is no reason to use chemical weapons.
The West has been lying again and again.
The West has been spreading lies that the opponents used chemical weapons, such as in Iraq, Syria, etc.
First of all, depending on the direction of the wind, you will be exposed to chemical weapons when you use chemical weapons.
Besides, historically, it is Germany which used chemical weapons.
Western media spred lies, lies and lies.
Japanese media are worse.
Japanese media (Japanese article by Reuters Japan) cut and did not report "Reuters has not been able to independently verify. The OPCW says it is insufficiently substantiated."

CBRN defense
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBRN_defense
Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense (CBRN defense) or Nuclear, biological, and chemical protection (NBC protection) is a class of protective measures taken in situations where chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (including terrorism) hazards may be present. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance, and weapons of mass destruction mitigation.

World War I
1915
Battle of Bolimów 31 January – The German Ninth Army launched the first large scale poison tear gas attack on the Russian Second Army in Poland, firing 18,000 gas shells.
However the wind blew the gas back onto the German lines, causing a few casualties which could have been higher had the winter cold not frozen the ingredient xylyl bromide.
The attack was called off, the counter-attacking Russians being successfully repelled by conventional artillery shellfire.

私は素人なのでよくわかりませんが。
西側は、またもや嘘をついている。
毒ガスは役に立たない。
戦車のNBC(核兵器、生物兵器、化学兵器)防護装置は基本的に、NBC攻撃からの避難時に使うもの。
毒ガスを浴びた戦車(装甲車その他)は、エンジンルームからなにから全部汚染される。
乗員区画以外は、毒ガスで汚染された外気を吸入している。
全部分解して掃除しないといけない。
清掃しないと、給油ができないし、弾薬補給もできない。
乗員は「酸素発生装置および毒ガスフィルター」を使用する。(戦車キャビンの内圧を外圧よりも高くし、「酸素発生装置および毒ガスフィルター」で酸素を供給する。)
乗員には「酸素発生装置および毒ガスフィルター」があるが、1000馬力のエンジンに吸気できる酸素なんて搭載できない。
毒ガスで汚染された戦車が帰還したら、まず、防護服を着た隊員が、大量に水をかけて外部の汚染を除去。
次に乗員が脱出したら、エンジンルームなどを含む内部の清掃。
乗員用「酸素発生装置および毒ガスフィルター」だって数時間しか持たない。
戦車の燃料も、最大で500キロ走る程度しか積んでない(これは道路を走った場合。戦車は普通は道路を走りません)。
歩兵用のNBC装備は、重くて暑いから、長時間行動できない。
したがって、毒ガスを使う意味がない。
西側は何度も何度も嘘をついている。
西側は、イラクやシリアなどで、相手が毒ガスを使ったという嘘を流し続けてきた。
そもそも、風向きによっては、毒ガスを使うと、使った自分自身が被ばくする。
挙句に、歴史的には、毒ガスを使ったのはドイツ。
西側の報道はデマを流す。
日本のマスコミはさらにひどい。
日本のマスコミ(ロイター日本支部の日本語記事)は「ロイターは、毒ガス使用の事実を未確認。OPCWも未確認」をカットして報道しない。

THE HAGUE, July 4 (Reuters) -
Dutch and German intelligence agencies have gathered evidence of widespread Russian use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine, including dropping a choking agent from drones to drive soldiers out of trenches so they can be shot, they said on Friday.
Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans called for tougher sanctions against Moscow.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
"The main conclusion is that we can confirm Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons," he told Reuters.
"This intensification is concerning because it is part of a trend we have been observing for several years now, where Russia's use of chemical weapons in this war is becoming more normalized, standardized, and widespread."
Germany's BND foreign intelligence agency confirmed the findings, saying in a statement that it had obtained the evidence alongside its Dutch counterparts. Reuters was first to report on the intelligence.
The head of the Dutch Military Intelligence Agency (MIVD), Peter Reesink, said the conclusions followed "our own independent intelligence, so we have observed it ourselves based on our own investigations."
Reuters has not been able to independently verify the use of banned chemical substances by either side in the Ukraine war.
The United States first accused Russia of using chloropicrin, a chemical compound more toxic than riot control agents and first used by Germany during World War One, in May last year.
Ukraine alleges thousands of instances of Russian chemical weapons use.
Russia's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request to comment for this article. Russia has denied using illegal munitions and it has accused Ukraine of doing so.
Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said on Wednesday that the Federal Security Service discovered a Ukrainian cache of explosive devices in the east of the country containing chloropicrin.
Ukraine has consistently denied such accusations.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a disarmament agency in The Hague with 193 member states, said last year that initial accusations levelled by both countries at each other were "insufficiently substantiated".
It has not been asked to conduct a full investigation, which must be initiated by member states.
At least three Ukrainian deaths have been tied to chemical weapons use, Brekelmans said, while more than 2,500 people injured on the battlefield reported chemical weapons-related symptoms to Ukrainian health authorities.
Increased use of chemical weapons by Russia poses a threat not only to Ukraine but to other countries, Brekelmans added.
"We must further increase the pressure. This means looking at more sanctions and specifically not allowing them (Russia) to participate in international bodies like the Executive Council of the OPCW," he said.
Reesink spoke of "thousands of instances" of chemical weapons use, while also citing a Ukrainian figure of 9,000.
Rotating two-year seats on the OPCW council will be up for negotiation in the coming months.
The intelligence findings were presented in a letter to the Dutch parliament on Friday.
LARGE-SCALE PROGRAM
Russia is a member of the OPCW and, like the United States, has destroyed its declared chemical weapons stockpiles.
Increased sanctions could happen in conjunction with the European Commission, which has proposed listing 15 additional new entities and individuals to its sanctions framework, including for suspected use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
The Dutch military and general intelligence agencies, working with foreign partners, say they have uncovered concrete evidence of intensified Russian chemical weapons production.
This includes heightened research capabilities and the recruitment of scientists for chemical weapons development, Reesink said. He added that Russian officials have given instructions to soldiers on the use of poisonous warfare agents.
"This isn't just some ad-hoc tinkering at the frontline; it is truly part of a large-scale program. And that is, of course, also concerning because if we don't clarify and publicize what Russia is doing, it's highly likely these trends will continue," Reesink said.
He called the use of chemical weapons by Russian armed forces "almost standing operating procedure."
"We specifically linked the use of chloropicrin to improvised munitions, such as filled light bulbs and empty bottles that are hung from a drone. When it comes to teargas, we see that they are also misusing and converting existing munitions to act as the carrier for the gas," he said.
Chloropicrin is listed as a banned choking agent by OPCW, which was created to implement and monitor compliance with the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
It can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. If ingested, it can cause burns in the mouth and stomach, nausea and vomiting, as well as difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
