Europe is losing their ability to produce explosives.
RT:
The EU defense industry’s ability to provide Ukraine with military supplies has been hampered by a deficit of explosives, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing sources.
Several European officials and arms manufacturers told the outlet that the bloc’s military plants are suffering from scarce supplies of gunpowder and TNT, which could delay plans to boost shell production by three years. The sources also complained that this meant the defense industry would be unable to meet the soaring demand “regardless of how much money is thrown at the problem.”
“The fundamental problem is that the European defense industry is not in good shape for large-scale war production,” one German official told the outlet.
These concerns were echoed by Jiri Hynek, who chairs the Defense and Security Industry Association of the Czech Republic. He said, as quoted by the FT, that while building a new artillery factory “is very easy,” it is impossible to produce shells without raw materials.
Good luck waging war on Russia without explosives.
Europe’s industry is being decimated. The lack of Russian energy combined with all the kook climate change gibberish has impacted their ability to do war.
It’s really something that the alleged geniuses running things in the West couldn’t figure out that these agendas were not compatible with one another.
