Sorry PN my EOD ID booklet is back at HQ......many miles away..

Interesting find..seems the ruskies don't bother making them go bang if they don't fuse then



Yank "original" version..

"If a Skeet fails to find a target, it self-destructs 50 feet (15 m) above the ground; if this fails, a back-up timer disables the Skeet. These features are intended to avoid later civilian casualties from unexploded munitions, and result in an unexploded-ordnance rate of less than 1%."
