How is mustard gas used today?

Answer 1

Mustard gas was never dropped from airplanes. It would have been far to dangerous for the bomb crew in WW1.

The gas was packed into artillery shells and fired towards the enemy trenches. On impact, the shells would explode and the gas would disperse. If the wind didn't shift, it would then drift towards the enemy positions. Sometimes the wind would change and blow the poison in the wrong direction and gas their own men.

More than 1.5 billion (yes billion) shells were fired during the war, and of them about 5% were filled with various types of gas. That still means millions of poison gas, not all of them exploded. They are still digging up unexploded gas munitions in France and Belgium. The gas canisters are very unstable now. About 200,000 shells are discovered every year in Ypres area alone. Many of them are still filled with poison gas.
