Stingers unearthed in arms cache

Pakistan says it has seized six US-made FIM-92 Stinger manportable surface-to-air missiles as part of a larger arms stockpile uncovered in a raid on a house near the Afghan border, according to reports from Peshawar.
"Pakistani paramilitary forces have recovered six Stinger missiles in one of the biggest weapons hauls," Major General Tariq Masood, a senior paramilitary commander, told reporters attending a briefing. "All weapons that we have recovered are useable."
The US covertly supplied a large number of Stingers to Mujahideen fighters opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s. The missiles would normally have a lifespan of around 10 years if retained in their original packaging, although they could degrade significantly if poorly handled or kept in bad conditions.
The main factors affecting a Stinger's lifespan are its batteries and solid-propellant fuel. When originally delivered each Stinger box would typically have contained two missiles and four batteries, or one spare battery for each Stinger. However, JDW sources say that new batteries are "not difficult to come by". The solid-propellant fuel, meanwhile, is prone to cracking after 10-12 years. This would still allow the missiles to fly but with less than optimal performance.
Further details of the arms cache were not revealed beyond a statement that it included "437 missiles, anti-aircraft guns, mortar shells and land mines". The weapons were found in the village of Khazina Ziarat, in Mohamand district, and at least one person was arrested.
The reports from Peshawar appear to link the arms seizure with the conflict in Afghanistan but the region is also known for a broader black market in illicit weapons. This was highlighted several years ago by the appearance in North Korean army ranks of reverse-engineered Stinger clones, which Pyongyang is thought to produce in limited quantities. North Korea is understood to have developed the Stinger clone after agents obtained a number of original Stingers from Afghanistan in the mid-1990s.

Ух ты! Несколько тем Никольскому

>оказывается северные корейцы якобы пытались скопировать Стингер!
Континетальные китайцы пытались скопировать Т-72 и у них получилось не хуже оригинала, северные американцы пытались скопировать МиГ-25 и получился Ф-15, французы делая тяжелый танк скопировали ИС-3 и Пантеру. Надо быть менее непосредственным - иначе тем для материалов на полгода вперед!
