A dummy bomb dropped by the Royal Thai Air Force was found in Cambodia, raising concerns as the bomb did not detonate.

The big discovery in Cambodia was the discovery of an MK84 bomb dropped by the Royal Thai Air Force, a one-ton bomb, but it turned out to be a dud. Cambodian engineers dug up this large bomb and handled it as a dud. It couldn't stay there forever, otherwise, if it exploded one day, it would cause great damage. Regardless, the Royal Thai Air Force did mean business, but since this bomb didn't explode, they have to find the United States.

Because this bomb was dropped by an F16 fighter jet, it is still somewhat dangerous. However, it didn't explode in the end, which must have been due to some problem in a certain link, possibly the bomb had expired, or it was not manufactured properly. Considering that a single bomb costs several tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's like this bomb was wasted.

Thailand needs to find the United States to investigate why there was a dud, and the United States has to give an explanation. Meanwhile, the Cambodian side publicized this bomb, allowing everyone to see that Thailand indeed used real methods, using such a large air bomb, which is indeed very dangerous.

But you all should know that American air bombs having duds has been common for decades. Just like during the Vietnam War, many bombs dropped did not detonate. Now, Lao people have special workshops for recovering American bombs, cutting these unexploded bombs into two parts, even making simple canoes from them, which is quite impressive.

There are a large number of unexploded American bombs in Laos, hidden in the forests and river sands and mud. For decades, they haven't been completely cleared because no one knows where they were dropped. Some bombs, after being thrown down, directly fell into river branches and muddy water, being isolated from oxygen by water and mud, thus failing to detonate, which is quite common.

Now, Laos has the most unexploded American bombs in the world, lying in the forests and river sand and mud. One day, it might come out, but the chance of it exploding is low, as they have been there for decades and have long expired.
