Well, the British is not scary, it is democratic.

Or maybe, FSE, Putin threw it up?

In our museums there are no such people, unless you specially sent people to England for her.

But seriously, if this Easter egg withers in many houses, you will have to insert windows.

The echo of war, the Britons reminded the Germans of themselves in this way.

The current allies! And let the Germans return to the Britons their premise - to foam well and return it from the plane to the British!

Hi dog breed! Dan, Karish hasn’t gotten you yet about the eggs? He got me specifically on Friday. And about Putin .... So even in his youth he buried it there.

[DanSabaka]

fortunately, my eggs are not interested in any karish .....
but about the fact that Putin worked in Germany in his youth, I didn’t remember anything, even .... tochnik! ... here he is then! ...

Sergey, 1.8 t .... Do not exaggerate?

The Allies used bombs up to 10t. A 10t bomb was shown on Discovery. The explosion could not destroy the bomb body. 2/3 of the case remained intact. The wall thickness is approximately 40 mm. The leading shard with two hands barely lifted. The bomb body only touched a finger, did not try to lift. Everything was preserved in an underground submarine plant.

I remember that one of the methods for the disposal of ammunition was freezing with liquid nitrogen, while the springs in the detonators lose their elasticity. Only this fool will need a lot of nitrogen.

I wonder if a water cutter can be neutralized?

[sabakina]

Somehow, according to REN TV, everyone does not like it, they showed a new Russian way of neutralizing dangerous ammunition. I can’t find the video, I'll try in words. The bottom line is that with something, whether with a laser, or with something else, the explosive ordnance is stupidly burned out, after which the explosive is not capable of exploding. Sorry to write clumsily.

[seregatara1969]

over time, the explosives become unstable - the fuse again rusted and is standing on a combat platoon. when and how it cracks, no one knows. maybe never already - although the Germans are pedants in their field

No one knows what condition she is in. Let them decide on the spot

[Doliva63]

Somehow I found an anti-tank mine post-war - and the rot rot, and the fuse. Can this bomb really explode? There, the whole body is already rusted, go!

[Aviator_]

Well, it’s not the case that explodes; It is, of course, good to hope that the fuse is defective, but hell knows? And you are happy if you were personally convinced of the malfunction of the fuse in the mine and rotten roofing material found.

[Doliva63]

What explodes, I am in the know And at the expense of "happy", so they teach it. The mine-blasting manual is still gathering dust on the shelf.
But I, in fact, what. If the body rotted, the bomb rotted 100%.

Valentine, after all, no one can say what position she is in. Will or will not be able to explode - question

[NN52]

Looks like the one you found?

[Doliva63]

Vladimir, usually the ammunition is first checked by jerking, as I mine. How will they pull 1,8 tons? Seen from the couch - an overhead charge in place.

[dauria]

Seen from the couch - an overhead charge in place.

Then the Cheops pyramid around it needs to be poured. And then at home in the district like a crumb from the table will blow away. In fact, it is not clear, as much as 1800 kg. If in a residential quarter, then it was more rational to pour a bunch of 250-current instead of one. The radius of destruction of a single bomb grows only as a cubic root of the mass of explosives. Everything above 500 kg is used only for ultra-protected purposes (thick concrete battleship or battleship). A strange find for a provincial town. Maybe the pilots didn’t get to where they wanted?

Can we also regret them? we still dig up the "Echo of War" .... how many more lie and are silent ...

This is a German SC-1800. This can be found in England and Russia where the Germans bombed

and what depth is not dangerous?

[Dezinto]

Yes, there will be nothing !, you just need to pull out the fuse, I did it a thousand times! Hold my beer ...

Authorities have announced an evacuation within a kilometer from the find. It is reported that “among the facilities to be evacuated are two hospitals, several nursing homes and a university”. In addition, residents of certain areas of the historic city center are forced to leave their homes.

To be more precise, not 2, but entire 4 hospitals are located there close to each other.
