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.
Böömen
Non credible defence is leaking into the real world
Ekksplösif
Just rebuild it afterwards.
Wow they do sell everything!
This side towards meatball cafe.
🤣 I thought this was an onion article.
Ahahahaha wtfs
This should be on not the onion
How does one even fuck up like this?
Reports indicate several members of an organization only identified as SCP were present during the discovery. Previously leaked documents indicate that SCP-3008 is one of this organization’s “entities” that manifest as a normal looking IKEA, however the individuals that enter are rarely seen to leave. Drone footage and interviews with survivors indicate the presence of “Staff” that are violent and deadly when the stores hours are over. It is currently unknown if the General had a previous relationship with SCP-3008 or anyone that had entered it. One knowledgeable individual interviewed, on conditions of anonymity, stated that “Staff are vulnerable like any other living thing, but mines are a terrible way to go about dealing with them - Staff are alerted to the presence of staff body parts and corpses, using mines would be a foolish endeavor as cleanup in that aisle would be excessive.” Person’s identified as potentially related to the SCP Foundation declined to comment.
At least going to IKEA will be a little more exciting.
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.
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
At least they had the common sense to ship the detonator in another box
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.
That’s a spicy KÖTTBULLAR!
