Our page is dedicated to educating the public about the hazards posed by unexploded ordnance, duds, and military-origin explosive and dangerous items, as well as the rules for dealing with them after they are found.
It should be understood that explosives used in military technology are, in practice, completely resistant to weather conditions and retain their explosive properties regardless of their date of manufacture.

The bomb-disposal specialists will remove the danger; they are properly trained and equipped to do so.
