Astazi ne uitam la pulberi. Nu la parteneriatul cu Rheinmetall pentru fabrica de pulberi Victoria, instalatiile se vor pune in functiune – estimarea oficiala – peste 3 ani, daca nu vor fi si alte intarzieri, cum a fost procesul de expropriere.
Bineinteles ca vor exista si alte blocaje, asa ca speranta realista e ca fabrica sa fie pusa in functiune inainte de sfarsitul decadei. Pana atunci, actualul daunator de la Economie va fi de mult disparut din scaun, precum predecesorul, fara ca nimeni sa-l mai poata trage la raspundere.
Asa ca trebuie sa ne uitam la niste alternative.
De cateva zile circula o stire, preluata de internetzurile de specialitate asa, direct din comunicatul oficial al BAE:
BAE Systems has developed innovative new approaches in the production of energetics and propellants expected to strengthen supply chain resilience for the UK and its allies.
These developments follow more than £150m of investment by the Company in its UK munitions facilities since 2022, which will deliver a sixteen-fold increase in production capacity of 155mm artillery shells when its new explosive filling facility at Glascoed, South Wales, becomes operational this summer.
The Company has invested a further £8.5m in novel manufacturing methods over the last five years, leading to significant breakthroughs in the creation of next generation explosives and propellants. The new methods will use continuous flow processing to synthesise explosive material and remove the need for Nitrocellulose and Nitroglycerine, which are high in demand across global supply chains, in propellant production.
A pilot has already demonstrated the technological breakthrough producing the explosives in small nodes. This technology would remove the need for a large-scale explosive factory.
Atat. Nimic mai mult.
Pentru niste unii (nu spui cine) care nu mai au productie de nitroceluloza (NC) si nitroglicerina (NG) dar trebuie sa reia productia de pulberi urgent, nu sa astepte cel putin 3-4 ani dupa Rheinmetall, stirea de mai sus ar fi trebuit sa tina capul de afis si sa puna niste lucruri in miscare.
Aparitia unei tehnologii care elimina necesitatea unor fabrici de mari dimenisuni si permite dispersarea lor ar trebui sa fie din nou ceva foarte interesant pentru cei aflati foarte aproape de potentiala zona de conflict.
Si totusi curiozitatea pare sa fie la nivel minim. E adevarat, detaliile nu sint clare iar limbajul de marketing folosit amesteca explozivii cu pulberile astfel incat nu se intelege mare lucru fara a sapa mai adanc.
