Why the assassinator used so uncommon material in the crimes, what connected those murders straight to KGB?

When somebody wants to kill somebody else, that person might choose something usual method. When we are talking about two murders what claimed to make under the control of KGB, we must just wonder, why that organization chose those methods, what conducted those murders straight to KGB or it Russian successor. Those murders are Grigori Markov's murder in 1978 and Alexander Litvinenko's murder in 2006.

That two murders were so uncommon, that they connected those assassinations straight to KGB. In the first case, the assassin used platinum pellet, where were two holes what filled with ricin- poison. The target was Bulgarian citizen, who moved to the west, and persons, who were believed be behind that case were members of Bulgarian intelligence.  That pellet was shot to Markov's leg with the air gun, what was masked as an umbrella.


I personally believe that the weapon, what was used in Markov's case used pressurized air because using of gunpowder could damage that ammunition, and throw the ricin out of those holes, and gunpowder is very easy to detect by dogs. The reason, why the suspect was found behind the Iron curtain, was that pellet was made platinum or sharper the constellation, what was used in that ammunition was the mixture of 90% of platinum and 10% of iridium. The problem of that ammunition was that was made so exotic metals. Why KGB didn't use something more common metal for that pellet is a big question.


The lead pallet would be easier to grind, because that metal is so soft, that it would be easier to drill. This is the very strange thing because simple cyanide spray to Markov's face could be enough. But the question is, why that man actually killed? Also, those pellets might easily to make with a material, what melt inside the target, and that ammunition might shoot with standard pistols or rifles. In those special bullets, the poison is mixed in the bonder material.


There was many more poets and writers who criticized the communist block, and those people didn't face their fate by the hand of KGB:s assassination. So why this particular man was ordered to get killed. What was the information, what he got from Bulgarians? Why it cost his life by the hand of an unknown killer? Nobody ever convicted about that time, so it is the official open case.


And why those who made that crime, used that kind of equipment, what are so easy to connect to those intelligence services. The Same question was about the murder of Alexandr Litvinenko. The poison, what was used, is so radioactive, that handling the material needed nanorobots or something like that. The nanorobot what was used in this crime might look like some kind of bug like Wasps, and it dropped polonium to morning coffee of Litvinenko.

Those equipment needs very highly trained people to accomplish the production of that robot bug, and of course, materials are also very important. There is needed highly trained programmers and engineers, that those nano bugs can use in real life. And of course, that robot needs also the mechanical components what can be done with 3D printers, and CAD programs. And that system needs also batteries, what can give electricity long enough, that the robot will accomplish its missions.


I wonder what could happen if that piece of polonium was slipped off that nanomachines jaws. That man was ex-colonel of KGB but using polonium, the assassinator connected that crime straight to Russian intelligence or special forces. If we make some analyzes about those crimes, I must ask one question. Is the use of that equipment meant to show all the world, that those men have absolute power in the Earth. That might be the reason, why thy choice for the method was so uncommon equipment like platinum bullets and very radioactive material, what has radioactive constant about 28 days. There is one mystery, that very radioactive material did not cause alarms in the borders of Great Britain.
