[quote]Backstory:
I am doing some air-condition maintenance in an small business office building. No one was in that server room for more than 2 months since the last IT guy left and apparently took the keys with him. AC gave up, found out there are no spare keys, had to break in and found this. Farewell present from a former employee maybe?[/quote]
[quote]Update #2:
Owner has no idea what it is or how it got there, there is a millitary warehouse few kilometers away with defunct BVPs nad V3Ss. Calling cops.
Update #3: 14:30 CET
Bomb squad is on the way, we are ordered to evacuate the building and leave the premises. Will update when they'll get here.
Update #4: 14:50 CET
Bomb Squad in the bulding: Police want to confiscate our phones and stuff for pics maybe? Hope I am not in trouble for posting that pic.
Update #5: 15:03 CET
Mobile phone confiscated, updating from notebook. We have been escorted maybe 2 kilometers away to some parking lot with police escort. We have to wait for a police interrogation. They are really not cool about it.
Update #6: 15:16 CET
Just heard from police radio. It is a freaking active bomb, live explosive, not inert or whatever is the correct fucking wording for it in english.
Update #7: 15:32 CET
Bomb squad will try to remove the device if it is not wired and transport it to some safer place, we are on our way to a police station. Some black vans with no registration plates on the scene, few military cars. It looks like a complete military lockdown. Crazy stuff...
Update #8: 17:33 CET
Got my phone back, I have been through a police investigation about what I was doing in that place and so on. We have been thanked for acting like we did. It was an active anti tank missile, bomb squad was not authorized to manipulate with it, military bomb squad had to be called, it is beeing transported to a nerby military area where they are going to detonate it. I could get any more info about it being wired or how did it even get there but hopefully will be able to get some more info from an owner of that factory, will keep you updated. There is an strict embargo about it we can't talk to press or anybody so I hope this will be ok since I did not mention anything too specific.[quote]
Seeing as there's a strict embargo about it, I guess we won't be seeing any official news any time soon
I'll be checking Czech press sites and update if anything new shows up anyway
Looks like a 9M14 Malyutka anti-tank missile, the type fired from the BMP-1. The folding fins seem to be missing though, it's just the bases that are left.

While I've no reason to suspect it is or isn't a hoax, the OP only posted this 5 hours ago, and that was shortly BEFORE any authorities had been contacted.
This turned out to be fake, was just done to Bamboozle reddit and anyone else watching.

pretty impressive for a fake IMO
well now I feel silly
Lying for le upboats is one of the few defining features of the Reddit community, so it's no real surprise that it turned out to be fake. I thought SH had rules against providing unverifiable stories and non-reputable sources?
gullible as fuck lmao
apparently those were removed when newpunch happened
