US Hellfire missile mistakenly shipped to Cuba

a reply to: Zaphod58

It seems to me that the one that's missing is one that has that technology than. What would be more interesting would be to follow the supply paperwork back to see how the unit covered it up or "accounted" for it. They either lied or got one from somewhere.

The M36 CATM has the seeker, or it would be useless as a training round.

It was shipped normally, and was tagged for where it was supposed to go. The mistake was with the airline.

Well, looks like this has been resolved.

Cuba Just Kindly Returned A Missile America Accidentally Gave Them

Back in January, the U.S. accidentally ended up shipping a Hellfire ground attack missile, full of sensitive missile technology, to Cuba. Oops! Cuba just gave it back, after a month of holding onto it...

Did Cuba crack open the missile to find out what secrets lay inside, and then possibly share that information with whoever they felt like inviting to the party, including China, North Korea, or Russia? Obviously, no one’s saying, but probably. Hell, it’s the sort of thing the United States has done in the past.

How do you just "accidently" ship hellfire missles?

Probably the same way you lose 1.3 Trillion dollars and no one knows how or where it went.
