minus-square@j_overgrens@feddit.nllinkfedilink7•2 days agoWhat do you think these mortars are going to be used for?
minus-squaresnooggumslinkfedilinkEnglish12•2 days agoThe mortar going off in the cleaning process would set off a sizeable number of other mortars and reduce the amount of firepower the Russians have to kill Ukranians. It would be a net benefit for humanity

minus-square@bradorsomething@ttrpg.networklinkfedilink31•3 days agoThey don’t even go off in the tubes.
minus-square@Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 days agoJFC, that would be such a pain in the ass for them if those dud mortar rounds got stuck in the mortar tubes.
minus-square@nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.calinkfedilink5•2 days agoWhat do you even do in that situation? You have to assume it can go off at any time right ?
minus-square@mipadaitu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 days agoTypically there’s a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process. Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires. Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.

Ask one of the NK guys to get it out.
