Finland is preparing to open a new TNT plant, as the full -scale war in Ukraine has led to a catastrophic shortage of this explosive in Europe.
Finland's Defense Minister, Anti Haccanen, confirmed this information, noting that the demand for TNT in Europe has significantly exceeded the capabilities of existing suppliers. He explained that the production of TNT is more profitable from a financial point of view than the purchase of ready -made ammunition.
A critical TNT deficit has now been recorded in Europe, and the only EU production plant in Poland cannot provide all allies. Therefore, the authorities of Finland are considering the construction of its own TNT plant.
Haccanen emphasized the importance of providing sufficient TNT reserves in the conditions of a long war, especially taking into account the threat from Russia. He also noted that Finland has sufficient resources and know-how for ammunition, and refused to open details about the location of the future plant.
