Interesting.....
If it was South Korea they could have just bought them legitimately from Raytheon or the US as they are on their 'good guys' list. Why would they want to have 69 Patriot missiles off the books? To sell on to another 3rd party? Some one who can't have them? Japan?
The US would not be selling to China for all sorts of reasons, at least not officially. If China is indeed the end destination and they were not going to be off loaded along the way (still a distinct possibility imho since the recipient's name was Korean not Chinese) who would be willing to sell them Patriot missiles? Germany? Finland?
I wonder if Israel is missing 69 Patriot missiles? If they have that many spare that they don't need it looks like all the Iranians are not so dangerous after all. The Iron Dome is not needed. Or is sufficient as is. As it should be with their nuclear arsenal and Samson option.
If no one owns them and no one claims them what does Finland do with them? Destroy them? Sell them?
I checked out the shipping company. They describe themselves as 'young and dynamic' with 'Tailor Made Shipping Solutions'. Hungry for business. They have not yet turned a profit according to their Danish tax retuns.
