    I hope a few go off while they are being cleaned.

        JFC, that would be such a pain in the ass for them if those dud mortar rounds got stuck in the mortar tubes.

            Typically 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.

        The 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
