Cost-Cutting Backfires 120 000 Faulty Mortar Rounds Reach Ukraine’s Front, Troops Say
Ukrainian infantry report that an entire batch of 120 000 120-mm mortar shells arrived with brittle fuzes and thin casings after the maker shaved metal to save money.
• Failure rate: 1 in 5 rounds cracks in the tube or duds down-range.
• Origin: East-European subcontractor rushing to fill NATO back-orders.
• Big question: Will Kyiv scrap the lot—or risk using them in the spring push?
FIRE OR SCRAP? Type YES if Kyiv should bin the batch, NO if scarce ammo means fire anyway, and say why 👇
