Unexploded Ordnance Issues

 Since day one of the war, via dozens of news sites....I've probably seen at least 300 different situations/images where unexploded ordnance has occurred.  The rocket/missile/bomb just sits there....impacted into the ground.  

In my Air Force era, this was always some part of the exercise, and areas would be marked off, with warning signs.....until Sarge showed up to dismantle the bomb.  

My general question is....in real world situations....just how often does this occur?

Even if you had forty different crews running around Ukraine.....to handle this, I'd suspect they've got enough work for several years.  

It just seems like a lot of the explosives....were of such poor quality....that it was just a demonstration of incompetence.

They have been digging up unexploded ordnance in Europe for over the last 100 years.
