+JonathanRL Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Somehow, I doubt South Korea would import Patriot Missiles branded as "Fireworks", taking the long way around... Quote
+Typhoid Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 This particular export operation is looking like a modern day Ship of Fools. The paperwork was wrong The explosives were improperly stored (and rolling around lose in rough seas!!) The export license wasn't obtained and the ship didn't have the navigational charts for the area they were transiting!! these guys give real smugglers a bad name..... But it does appear to be a legit export of surplus Patriots from Germany to SK. with a stopover in China....... Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I've read "fireworks" was a bad translation of "rockets." A whopper of a nothing-burger I'm thinking. Quote
