Outgoing Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur addressed controversy surrounding a recent ammunition deal, clarifying that the supplied ammunition wasn’t entirely unusable. However, he conceded that the ammunition delivered through the Estonian Center for Defense Investments (RKIK) was of lower quality than expected and did not arrive in complete sets. Pevkur’s statements aim to correct perceptions that the purchase was a complete failure, despite acknowledged shortcomings. He indicated the issues relate to the ammunition’s functionality and completeness, not a total lack of efficacy. The deal has faced scrutiny, and this clarification seeks to provide further transparency regarding the situation. This admission raises questions about quality control and procurement processes within Estonian defense spending. Further investigation into the deal's specifics may occur.
