    Plausible, especially if the shell was made in Pakistan. Remember the Philippine Army is having the same problems with 105 mm howitzer shells and 90 mm mortar shells bought from Pakistan failing to detonate. Tinatawanan lang ng asg pag kinakanyon sila kasi di naman pumuputok. Pakistani made shells are designed to explode on impact on solid rock (good morning India!) Philippine soil conditions cushion the shells on impact so they don't explode. Mura nga supot naman.
