JSC Ukroboronprom showed photos of 120-mm mines from its own plant in response to a request from Defense.
120mm mines produced by Ukroboronprom
In recent days, new photos of low-quality mortar mines allegedly produced by Ukroboronprom have appeared on the Internet. In response to Defense's question about whether these mines are the company's products, the UOP denied this.
"The marking and color of the ammunition in the photo do not correspond to the marking and color of 120-mm mortar mines produced by the enterprises of the Joint-Stock Company "Ukrainian Defense Industry". Therefore, the company and its enterprises have no relation to the mines captured in the photo. There have been no complaints from the military regarding the relevant products of Ukroboronprom over the past year," UOP replied to Defense.
Recall that in 2024, a scandal broke out with the supply of defective mines to the front. Then it turned out that one of the state defense enterprises, which is not part of Ukroboronprom, shipped tens of thousands of ammunition with low-quality components to the military, and also disrupted the delivery dates of ammunition under a contract with the Ministry of Defense.
Now the Ministry of Strategic Industry has reported on the replacement of all defective mines, and the plant's management has been detained by the SBU.
