German army launched investigation into missing ammunition

About 60 thousand rounds of different caliber found in the inventory of the German army are missing. The Army, which emphasizes negligence and crime possibilities, launched an investigation on the subject.

It is reported that the German army (Bundeswehr) has launched an investigation into tens of thousands of ammunition ammunition missing. Speaking to the German news agency dpa on Friday, a spokesman for the German Defense Ministry noted that the reason for the ammunition’s loss has not yet been determined. “Of course, if there is a crime, the chief prosecutor will be involved,” the spokesman said.

The German Die Welt newspaper previously wrote that since 2010, 60,000 shots of ammunition were missing and based on the official data from the German government’s response to the question posed by various opposition parliamentary groups.

According to the data in question, only about 36 thousand of 96 thousand rounds of various calibers that are involved in losses have been found. It is stated that the 48,000 rounds of ammunition, where the enigma is, disappeared within the German Commando Special Forces (KSK) and is not reflected in the mentioned data.

“We are now conducting an intensive investigation and evaluating the process, not only within the KSK, but within the entire army,” the spokesman for the Defense Ministry said. Stating that the possibility that the ammunition may have been forgotten in certain areas of duty as a result of carelessness and negligence or stolen to constitute an element of crime, the spokesperson said that the situation should be clarified. The spokesperson stressed that state institutions cooperate in the investigation.

A few weeks ago, the KSK came back to the agenda with the allegations of extreme right-wingness in a company, and it was decided to abolish the company within the body of KSK by the initiative of German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer.
