In June 2024, a train carrying more than 1,000 tons of explosives was improperly unloaded by Polish troops, the report said, who mistakenly left the anti-tank mines to continue their rail-bound journey around the country until they were eventually offloaded in the furniture behemoth’s warehouse.
Kępczyński, meanwhile, reportedly kept the mishap from his superiors while furnishing subsequent supply reports that featured false numbers.
That approach appeared to have worked — at least until an Ikea warehouse representative telephoned military officials and inquired about “when they would collect their mines,” according to one report.
Think of the savings though. Ikea as a military supplier. Everything is cardboard but it works. 4$ landmines. 19,99$ cardboard roll mortar? Don't mind if we do.
Not really. The year old news (year and a half actually) is that they forgot to unload the mines. This has been discovered now because it's been now that the general has been dismissed as it's been now that Ikea has called asking when are they going to pick them up.

I had a good chuckle at this. It just seems like IKEA were politely waiting for the mines to be dealt with .

Nah, they have some great stuff. It's just way more expensive than the cheap MDF and cardboard garbage that sells by the boatload.

Imagine trying to follow the assembly instructions… “why do I have this extra bit left over?”

You have to disarm them with an Allen wrench.
