Cluster bomb duds that shouldn't exist

An Australian Activist along with the UN shows us Cluster bombs that are very dangerous and old that should have not been used. He goes over the field showing you for every couple of meters there are cluster bombs duds that are all armed and have not blown up. Proving the fact that M85 self destruct mechanism simply does not work. The wind can blow it up; you can accidentally step on it and die. Although these are only found in the South of Lebanon, they are carpeted all over the South. Israel has still to this day refused to give Lebanon and the UN maps of where they dropped cluster bombs and as well, where they had planted mines over during the 1982 Invasion and the occupation of South Lebanon up to 2000.

Please keep in mind, Israel still occupies a part of Lebanon "Sheba Farms" which is right next to the territory that belongs to Syria which is also occupied by Israel as well "Golan Heights". They have disputes over the years to which country it belongs to, but when you look at the original map that split Palestine, Israel, Lebanon and Syria, it proved the Sheba Farms do belong to Lebanon while Israel is in denial. We can not forget the Syria occupies 4.1% of Lebanon! It has its army bases entrenched miles deep into Lebanon! For the sake of conversation, Israeli settlement a few parts of Gaza and many in the West Bank. As well, they stole the land given to them by the UN in the 1964 war. Even though it was more of an invasion since Palestinians didn't stand a chance against them and they still don't. Media still ignores the truth and throws the words "terrorism" and "Believed to be linked to Al quada" in our faces everyday with no real proof or action being taken. If you say occupying a country and provoking them to fight you and each other is action, I call that terrorism.

[ferdin12]

Don't worry my good friend,They banned these

We have no more worries for duds :)

How does video of ordnance prove that the fuse isn't disabled as designed? Didn't prove anything.

Bag em all up and stick them on ebay!

They hit the ground & BOUNCE, they land well from the impact site, hence no impact marks. With the tether on the top from the onboard drop cannister it

acts like a Kite tail as they fall keeping them vertical (poor design)

The base hits the ground & that's why these failures occur.

Simple physics actually ;-)

"TK and IMI teamed to develop the XM242 Pyrotechnic Self Destruct Fuze (p-SDF) for the 155mm M864E2, based on the fielded IMI fuze for M85 grenades. Developed to meet < 1% Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) for M42/M46 grenades."*

Considering the number of these weapons deployed, I wonder what <1% actually numbers, in terms of failed auto destruct bomblets...

Good work!

@n4sir804 How the hell does this guy know that they've been in place long enough to self-destruct?? I guess that point is moot, since as you pointed out they're obviously not placed there by aircraft. Good catch, BTW!

[n4sir804]

@armystrong204th yes i agree so neatly they lay...HORSE SHIT..once again anti US bullshit...

[armystrong204th]

just sayin if a 5 pound bomblet fell from around 1000 feet there would be some disturbance around the area where it rested. looks to me like that was placed there. YOU FAIL.
