Investigation into defective mortar shells in Ukraine sparks concerns over weapon safety.

Defective mortar shells have been identified in the Ukrainian army, prompting an investigation by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Ukrainian military personnel have reported issues with both 120 mm and 82 mm mortar shells, with some becoming stuck in the mortar barrel, falling after being fired, or failing to detonate altogether. These defects are concerning, as they compromise the effectiveness of the weapons in critical situations. The batch of defective shells is reportedly large, causing further alarm within military ranks. In response, Ukroboronprom, the company responsible for manufacturing the mortars, has suggested that negligent storage practices by the Ukrainian military may be to blame, though the investigation is still ongoing. The situation has raised serious concerns about ammunition quality and the potential risks faced by soldiers using these faulty weapons.
