I guess most of it will go to a front company for organised crime, and you'll see most of this kit end up in Africa and the Middle East, as well as some to terrorists in Europe. Thanks Serbia!

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

You're probably right, although what the Ukraine really needs is more modern equipment...

Any ZSUs for sale? We could use a couple to help defend the Grog Fortress IslandTM.

I wish it wasn't so, but I think you're right on that.
