SURROUNDED: Russian Bunker Surrendered | Russia Needs a Mobilisation | Ukrainian Update

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Watching the unconventional method of disassembling the cluster shell reminds me of a British Army EOD tech in Tobruk after WWII. He was tasked to tour a local workshop disassembling German antitank mines recovered from the surrounding desert. Stored in a vast stockpile, they were rotting slowly, detonating spontaneously from time to time as a fuse decayed and failed. The mines were being opened up to recover the high explosive and each worker was surrounded by stacks, each no more than five high, earlier workers having discovered that stacking six made them go off. When the expert saw the base plate being opened with hammer and chisel, he enquired how they’d bypassed the anti-handling devices to remove the fuses. Turned out that after losing a few people trying, they’d given up and simply turned the mines upside down to work on them - all the mines he could see being smashed open were still LIVE. Said it took all of his dignity as the revered expert from the British Army not to flee immediately."
