Moldovan army destroys surplus bombs with OSCE expertise
Photo Gallery
The destruction of surplus ammunition is crucial for non-proliferation, regional stability, and the safety of civilians. The OSCE Mission to Moldova has been working with the Moldovan Ministry of Defence on ammunition disposal projects since 2007. The disposal of air bombs in July 2011 was the latest in a series of projects.
Photo
The disposal operations take place in deep pits at a purpose built demolition site at the Bulboaca Training Area, in the Anenii Noi district of Moldova. The pits are dug about four meters deep as a safety measure to contain the explosions.
Photo
The air bombs are disposed of using special thermal devices to split the bomb casing and burn off the explosives. Instruction in this destruction method was provided by John Paul Grimsley, an OSCE expert on explosive ordnance disposal.
Photo
The thermal shock induced deflagrator and low temperature thermite devices are safely positioned on top of the bomb, now ready for disposal.
Photo
Kenneth Pickles (r), Politico-Military Officer at the OSCE Mission to Moldova, and Major Andrei Camerzan, Moldovan Army Chief of Arms and Ammunition Section, closely observe every stage of the disposal operations.
Photo
The OSCE Mission members and Moldovan army engineers observe the bomb-burning process from a bunker overlooking the site.
