Summary
Polish Defense Minister dismissed Maj. Gen. Artur Kępczyński, head of the Support Inspectorate, following the discovery of missing anti-tank mines in an IKEA warehouse.
Reports suggest Kępczyński concealed the mishap, which occurred in June 2024 when soldiers failed to unload a train carrying explosives.
False documentation masked the missing mines until IKEA contacted the military to retrieve them.
The defense ministry did not specify reasons for the dismissal, but an investigation is ongoing.

Just rebuild it afterwards.

Ahahahaha wtfs
This should be on not the onion
Must be those ‘once in a lifetime’ sales.
- sorry. Couldn’t come up with anything explosive enough.
Like Spanish Lidl that got 100kg of cocaine with bananas: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jan/04/lidl-supermarket-cocaine-banana-delivery
And later Czech Lidl that also got 100kg of cocaine with bananas: https://www.euronews.com/2015/04/04/czech-republic-over-100kg-of-cocaine-found-in-supermarket-banana-shipment
As someone that used to offload and did the fresh produce section afterwards, nobody would’ve seen that 100kg again.
All we ever got was a big ass spider I ended up tossing in the cardboard shredder.
Don’t worry, you were a bomb.
Non credible defence is leaking into the real world
Did these need self assembly?
Yes, they ship flat in one convenient box. Required hex key and detonation hammer included.
there’s irl tiny wrench included with these mines, but it’s for disarming. also fuzes and main charges are stored and transported separately

danm… I need to shop at Ikea more often.
for. uh. reasons.
Reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with global domination. or pankcakes.
You can buy mines online, sometimes.
There was that whole incident of a store selling inert TM-62M anti-tank land mines, but they all got collected by ATF because some of them might have had training fuses that produce smoke.
Wow they do sell everything!

At least going to IKEA will be a little more exciting.
That’s a spicy KÖTTBULLAR!
