      Unfortunate circumstances, but in the end all this misery could become some kind of economic boom for EU, even further cementing our superior Inner/single market. We are the big guy in that aspect.

      Before a shit ton of random comments regarding why it has not happened sooner etc.

      Denmark has to follow EU public tendering rules. Every EU company have the right to compete in winning the contract. Thus, this process takes some time.

      **This is how the drawn-out timeline of Denmarks Ammunition facilities.**

      * **February 2025:** In a press release, the Ministry of Defence announces that it has not been decided when production will begin. Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen states at a press conference on February 28 that the first shell from the factory is expected to be completed in 2027.

      Are these just regular small arms and artillery munitions? Because while great, we actually need PGMs more. Those are a lot harder to build and a lot more strategically valuable.
