Army boss alarm about ammunition shortage: ‘The Netherlands must start producing itself’

This leads to problems at the Ministry of Defense, which is currently doing everything it can to get the ammunition stocks up to standard. There is now a large budget for this. “But I think we have to be honest: the industry is struggling to provide us with the pace we want,” Eichelsheim said on Tuesday at a briefing about defense plans in the House of Representatives.
