Antares
Respected Leader
Tanska aikoo käynnistää ammustuotannon Krudten-nimisellä tehtaalla (sanamuoto: käynnistää uudestaan). Tämä laskettaneen kapasiteetin nostoksi, vaikkei tässä sanotakaan mitään kokonaiskapasiteetista tai aikataulusta. Puhutaan myös yleisesti "ammunition factory" ilman että sanotaan, mitä on tarkoitus tuottaa: kiväärin patruunoita, heittimien kranaatteja, tykistön laukauksia, jotain muuta.
Kapasiteetin nostaminen ei ole halpaa joten oletan että juuteilla on aikomusta tehdä näillä rahaa. Ehkä he kuvittelevat että suursodan aikana "ammuksille" löytyy ostajia? Ehkä kuvittelevat myös että monella maalla olisi tarve täydentää varastoja lähivuosina / seuraavan kymmenen vuoden aikana joten investointi tulisi kenties maksamaan itsensä takaisin? Tai ehkä kokevat että itsenäisellä valtiolla tulisi olla edes jonkinlainen oma kapasiteetti näiden osalta?
Jos lukee alle lainaamani artikkelin tekstin, niin käy selväksi ettei tämä ole asia joka on 100% varma ja toisaalta odotus olisi että yksityisen sektorin toimijat ottaisivat kompleksin käyttöönsä.
Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen has today announced that the North Jutland ammunition factory 'Krudten' will start production again. The reopening of production comes in the wake of NATO saying that Western countries are running out of ammunition.

Ammunition is absolutely crucial for Ukraine in the short term.
Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (V) took that fact home with him from an arms donation meeting in Germany with the other countries that support Ukraine.
Therefore, he now also wants to speed up the process and "make an effort" to buy back the land that formerly housed an ammunition factory in Elling near Frederikshavn.
According to the Minister of Defence, he is looking to get a clarification within a month.
After this, the hope is that private actors will establish themselves, so that the factory will again be used for what it was built for, he explains.
- If we succeed in creating a model where the Armed Forces can step in and facilitate the acquisition of the buildings and get private companies to produce, I believe that in the course of the next few years we will be able to produce in Denmark, says the Minister of Defence.

Production of weapons and ammunition for the Danish military took place at various addresses before it was gathered in Elling in 1968.
Here, production took place under the name Ammunitionsarsenalet, locally called "Krudten", with up to 200 employees at its peak.
In 2008, the state sold the factory to the Spanish ammunition manufacturer Expal, which renamed the company Denex.
Denex mainly produced rifle ammunition, while old ammunition was also destroyed at the factory.
Expal chose to close Denex in 2020 after several years of losses. At the time, the factory had 65 employees.
The ammunition factory in Elling closed in 2020 and was at the time the only place in Denmark that produced ammunition.
It was in 2008 that the state sold what was previously called Ammunitionsarsenalet to the Spanish ammunition manufacturer Expal. However, it closed production in 2020 after 10 years with a three-digit million loss.
The announcement came ahead of a meeting between the Nato countries' defense chiefs at the weekend.
Here , the defense chiefs expressed concern that the lack of ability to produce will cause delivery times and prices for equipment and ammunition to rise.
Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO's military committee, said this about the problem:
- Right now we are paying more and more for exactly the same thing. This means that we cannot be sure that the increased spending on defense will actually lead to more security.
Rob Bauer is the senior military advisor to NATO's Secretary General and in contact with NATO's defense chiefs in the 31 member states.
And that is the very big challenge that needs to be solved, says Troels Lund Poulsen after yesterday's donation meeting at the Rammstein base in Germany.
- What has been important today is that many countries also want to take advantage of what is needed. There I think you have to say that ammunition on the short range is completely decisive.
The factory in Elling contains 50 buildings with a total of 18,000 square meters.
Today, the owners of the factory and the Ministry of Defense are meeting to negotiate that the state can buy the closed ammunition factory in Elling.

"Gunpowder" in Elling
The ammunition factory can trace its roots back to 1676, when it was founded under the name Fyrværkerikompagniet in Copenhagen.Production of weapons and ammunition for the Danish military took place at various addresses before it was gathered in Elling in 1968.
Here, production took place under the name Ammunitionsarsenalet, locally called "Krudten", with up to 200 employees at its peak.

Nato: Production lags behind
Last week, Norway's defense chief told the Norwegian newspaper VG that Nato does not have enough ammunition in stock and that the need is enormous.The announcement came ahead of a meeting between the Nato countries' defense chiefs at the weekend.
Here , the defense chiefs expressed concern that the lack of ability to produce will cause delivery times and prices for equipment and ammunition to rise.
Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO's military committee, said this about the problem:

Luulisi, että tuokin olisi jonkunmoinen prioriteettikohde omalla alueellaan. Vai, oliko toi niitä, jotka karkasivat emäryssälään, kun homma ei mennytkään putkeen? Niitähän lähti enemmänkin karkuun jossain kohtaa.
