Discarded UXO Found By Local Residents
Helena City, Montana A local resident walking along a gravel road in Grizzly Gulch discovered 5 UXO items in the brush. The resident called the police who cleared the area and called in EOD support from Malmstrom Air Force Base. EOD safely detonated the items on site. One of the items was identified as a howitzer round. Another item, shown in the image below, appears to be a part of a TOW guided missile.
UXO have been found in the north end of Helena Valley, where a former National Guard Range is located but never in the Grizzly Gulch area. Authorities suspect that the items were illegally dumped there. The local police, Lewis and Clark County Sheriff's Office, National Guard, and the federal BATF are conducting an investigation into the matter.
Comments
Those are not any parts of a T.O.W one is a 155 mm lum round and the other is a 105 mm discarding sabot round
