Polish general fired after anti-tank mines found in Ikea warehouse (in 2025)

I wonder what the IKEA product name is for anti-tank mines? I couldn’t find it on their website.
I'd check
- SMÄLLARE
- SPRÄNGNING
- EXPLOSIV
- BJÖRNTJÄNST
Or maybe
- ATTENTAT
If you can't find it under any of those they might just not be available in your region yet.
BJÖRNTJÄNST
Brilliant. As a Dane I recognize it as "bjørnetjeneste" (bear favor/service) and comes from this old fable: "The Bear and the Gardener", but as Russia is often depicted as a bear in satirical cartoons, it works on another level as well.
In German it is "Bärendienst"
Yeah, I noticed in the "Idioms" part of the article I linked, and I'm not surprised, us Danes probably got it from German to begin with.

he put the wrong delivery address
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.
"It's like this," said Lars Andersson, spearing another forkful of the Swedish meatball that sat next to the lingonberry preserves on his plate. He chewed blissfully, his eyes happily skimming over the IKEA diner. "IKEA is an all-in-one location. You can get a nice meal before you pick up your furniture. You can get everything at IKEA."
