Back to the Outskirts? After all, "Russian" and "Chinese" production is the concept OUCH! how extensible. The Type 56 has been in service in China (and therefore in production) since the 50s. And the "Russian Kalashnikov" is also a rather dark story for the Americans. For them, everything that "Kalashnikov" was produced at factories in Russia literally the day before yesterday. It does not matter that it may be an AK-47. There are not many of them scattered around the world. the fact that they are all Russian or Soviet production.

And further. American sailors are so expert experts that they distinguish Russian assault rifles from Soviet ones, but these two are from Czech or the same American clones?

In light of the latest hype with Czech warehouses, I fully admit that weapons from the outskirts or some Young Donat warehouses were carried by a cocktail rabble crew hired by some Bulgarian. And they were not taking him to Kuwait.
I think that if you dig it well, then you can dig up for the second Irangate. How so? American allies in ISIS were left without weapons!

In 2004, Rosoboronexport and personally Mikhail Kalashnikov accused the United States of supporting the distribution of counterfeit copies of the AK. Thus, the fact is commented on the fact that the United States is supplying the ruling regimes of Afghanistan and Iraq brought to power with Kalashnikov assault rifles produced in China and Eastern Europe.

Only the ends are too well hidden there.

Weapons from exploded warehouses in the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Deliver to destination.

Weapons went to the Yemeni port, for the Houthis, everywhere you see Ukraine

Yes, I do not see the outskirts at every step! It's just that there are more Soviet-made weapons there than anywhere else from all the territories from which the USSR left - both those that were part of the USSR and outside the USSR. What to do with it, how not to sell it? And if the amount of Soviet weapons left behind is multiplied by a free profit and a political component added (even if ISIS, even the devil himself - if only against Russia), then God himself ordered the outskirts of the outskirts to be sold to anyone.

All the time I am amazed at how small arms burn out in the outskirts of warehouses. I saw this only in American movies about the gun barons. So Hollywood ... The outskirts are cooler than Hollywood - weapons burn out so that not even the trunks remain.

Why bomb if the cargo has already been detained? Now, if he arrived at his destination, then yes, but why?
And who, for this cargo, presented anything to Russia? Even the Yankees didn't, as far as I understood.
Don't write nonsense in serious discussions anymore, it's not pretty.

It will be a laugh if it turns out that these weapons were bought, through tenth hands, by the Americans themselves to supply "fighters against the totalitarian regime of Assad."

It is much more interesting to see how the United States will dispose of this arsenal. Surely ISIS and the Kurds will grow in arsenal.

[prior]

Russian weapons in bulk, like firewood, are not sold, especially together with the Chinese.
There are so many Russian weapons in the former socialist countries that ... it is not difficult to organize a provocation.
Big holiday greetings to American provocateurs!

That's right, and "Russian"? Moreover, and "in the former socialist countries."
Like that story with the Novice - if he is, then only exclusively "Russian". Yeah, in the sense of uh-huh.

[Alex777]

The Persians really have both ours and the Chinese.
I can assume that the ship was going to the Houthis ...

[Alex777]

The Russian and Chinese weapons seized by the US in the Arabian Sea were sent from Iran to Yemen, US military sources said.

Well, like they walked, walked along the sea-ocean, then BAM !! - from around the corner a ship with weapons and no numbers ..

[Gardener91]

The identity of the owners of the vessel and cargo, as well as the final destination, are still being investigated. Yeah, letting go of the crew, without finding out the ownership of the vessel? Some nonsense ... Already on such bloopers "the world community" is being conducted. Although ... the rustling was designated, and the rest is speculated. Sanctions are our FSE! Happy Everyone !!!

[YOU]

Unidentified vessel, where it was going. And by chance an American cruiser searched him. Complete nonsense, what the right, one ship has to search another in neutral waters. And if they searched and found illegal, then why were they released. It turns out they have committed a pirate act, robbed. Complete nonsense. Apparently in solidarity with the Czech Republic, they say, not only they sell weapons. Only China is also obligatory, the Americans cannot live without China. Well, now it remains only to wait, when now there will be statements that
several sailors remembered and identified Petrov and Bashirov in the ship's crew.

[Prisoner]

Another provocation was muddied by mattresses. They will not calm down.

Deliver to destination. For an appropriate reward, of course. Nothing personal, just business.

The arms trade comes from all directions and in all directions ... legal and dofig not legal. Ours, Chinese, is in demand ...
In general, nothing and nothing ...

In the direction of everyone there m14-16 did not look.

On what basis was the inspection of the vessel carried out in international waters? Where is the ship going from and where? Why is the cargo declared illegal? Home port of the vessel? Who is the owner of the vessel?
What's this news?

[TOR2]

An incident occurred in the neutral waters of the Arabian Sea. There, the Americans detained an unidentified ship with illegal Russian and Chinese weapons on board.

Such cargo is not carried on an unmarked vessel. This is "pale" 100%.
According to the provisions of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, a ship must fly the flag of only one state and submit to its jurisdiction on the high seas. It may not change its flag while sailing or when entering port, unless there is a valid transfer of ownership or a change of registration.

[Usher]

What are these international laws?

[kig]

Quote: Usher

What are these international laws?

This is International Maritime Law. Paragraph 5 explains why and why a warship has the right to inspect a merchant ship. And this scow ... not so long ago, Somali pirates in the same Arabian Sea had fun on exactly the same ones, and now there is a war in Yemen. So if there is no flag and home port (unidentified ship), then the commander simply had no other choice but to stop and inspect him. By the way, during the fight against pirates, our sailors stopped and inspected local junks in the same way.

But he can't. How not to throw out the next slogan, even if it is "out of tune"
Such boats (as in the photo in the article) are used to transport weapons from Iran to Yemen. There have been dozens of such detentions over the past few years, the network contains not only photos and a listing of what was found there, but also a video. And the expression "illegal weapons of Russian and Chinese production" is yet another journalistic "know-how". Any weapon of any country that will not be supplied from the manufacturer to the buyer will be illegal.

Stepan! To be honest, are you and others tired of posting photos of Petrov and Bosharov? Once is funny. But every time, to the point or not, it causes, frankly, dull irritation. One gets the impression that the interlocutor is "overwhelmed" with these characters. It is necessary or not necessary, but their pictures are posted ...
