It's T 69 MKII G actually. The gun is clearly an 105mm L7 derivative.

No. Imported. Clearly this accident has something to do with the charge/brass casings.

It is possible but Not necessarily a manufacturing fault either, the ammo could have been stored improperly or mishandled as well, or there could have been an issue with the breech/barrel.

Really sad accident either way, I hope they will ensure the rest of the ammo is safe to use.

You are correct. That's why I didn’t mention manufacturing fault specifically.

We for a fact know chemical compounds do not stay the same over the years. Depending on the conditions, the chemical charge might deteriorate overtime and such a charge will create volatile excessive gas/pressure inside the barrel, and the breach might fail under such circumstances.

Chemistry tells us this very clearly.

This is a really really sad accident and such accident might happen anytime anywhere.

Innalillahi wa inna lillahi rajiun. May Allah forgive the deceased and grant them Jannah. Ameen.
