  1. Does anyone have more evidence of this stuff? When ruskies blew the dam I kept seeing many finds from WW2, or just guys digging trenches and finding stuff. Is anyone keeping track or know of any good articles? Thanks.

  2. Orcs were hoping to dig those up to use in their WWII weaponry. Alas, another failed special military operation.

  3. Attach it to the granades used for sure detonation, they shouldent go to waste, and its sustainable.

  4. Lots of battles in Ukraine during WW2, probably lots more still buried, very interesting! Wonder if it’s Russian or German

    Edit: I should have said Soviet not Russian

  5. A few comments here saying they should reuse the ammo, so I feel it’s always a good time to remind people to never ever handle UXO unless you are a trained EOD specialist. Buried relics like this are absolutely unstable and dangerous. In 2017, two French EOD guys were killed trying to disarm a shell from WW1. The Ukrainians will certainly detonate these in place or near, so thankfully, they won’t pose a danger to civilian life anymore like they did for the past 80 years. Something not thought of enough is how UXO can poison the land for a century or more, parts of Ukraine will be completely uninhabitable for many years after this is over. Consider checking out CAT UXO for more information and groups that help disarm and remove these dangerous relics of war.
