That’s one way to clear un-exploded bombs, I suppose.

I suppose these bombs are too big for the flail tanks they used to explode mined areas during WWII.

The British military used the Langdale Moor area as a tank training ground during the war, and the possibility of more bombs

Either something is lacking in this reporting, or leftist journalists are so ignorant of basic military terms that they don't understand the different between a tank's cannon round and a bomb (which most people today would understand to be an explosive dropped from a bomber in the context of WWII.

I recall a rather breathless British article reporting on the discovery of unexploded ordinance found outside a shop some years ago. It was a .22 round. You'd have thought it was a 155 mm. artillery shell from the way the article (and yes, they actually wrote an article about it) went on. I kept thinking it was satire but it was apparently real.
