Finland has urgently planned to build a TNT production plant.
The Suomi authorities explain these plans by the acute shortage of explosives in Europe.
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the local television and radio company Yle.
The latter, in turn, refers to the corresponding statement by the head of the Finnish Ministry of Defense, Antti Häkkänen.
He noted that Europe is faced with the task of significantly increasing the production of explosives.
Therefore, we must seriously consider the role of domestic industry in this issue,” the head of the department informed.
He added: the Helsinki authorities have notified their allies that it is necessary to make a decision on the construction of the plant as quickly as possible.
According to the minister’s argument, this approach is based on the special military operation carried out by neighboring Russia in Ukraine.
According to Yle, Europe is currently experiencing a critical shortage of explosives.
The only plant producing TNT is located in Poland, but its production volumes do not meet demand, the television and radio company notes.
Earlier it became known that the NATO ground forces headquarters in Finland are only 140 km from the border with the Russian Federation.
