pretty hard. Removing a fuze, or what? It does not look like the fuze

Reminiscent of the Bugs Bunny episode in which the gremlin is tapping
on the ends of bombs with a hammer in order to "test" them. Bugs walks
over and says "Hey Doc, let me have a whack at it."

By the way, the axe that is shown on the picture, is extremely nice
and can be used for just about everything: pounding nails, felling
trees, splitting wood, and carpentry.

I have one just like that.

We would call that a broadaxe, which was used for squaring logs and timbers,
and for notching. A smaller version would be a carpenter's hatchet.

And look at the guy in the middle. He closed his eyes just in case
this artillery shell explodes.

Here's "the future", right from the same newspaper, though in a
different region.

http://www.pravda.ru/news/accidents/...415-arsenal-0/

This story talks about a large military ordnance warehouse that caught
fire today. A 10km area is evacuated.

I would call this the "Russian style" approach to safety.

WARGAMES OF A SELF-PROPELLED ARTILLERY BRIGADE.

Artillerymen who won a prize in a district wide military competition,
will take part in the final army wide part of it. It will be
traditionally held in the Luzhsk artillery range in the Western
military district, in July.

Provided they survive until July, of course.
