Any chance that this shipment was bound for the Philippines? The Philippines has been publicly making known its wish list for defensive weapons for the Spratlys area (conspiracy theory).

This is a major blow to Raytheon. patriot missile was always a problem system in the first gulf war it reportedly had a 27% success rate.We have to wait for official comments from the WH, Pentagon or State Dept. But this article is a treasure find for conspiracy theorists (World's most vibrant cottage industry).
Interesting but it could be shipped from West Coast in USA.Any chance that this shipment was bound for the Philippines? The Philippines has been publicly making known its wish list for defensive weapons for the Spratlys area (conspiracy theory).

Alleged to be this MIM-104 Patriot missile system?I highly doubt they are destined for China.
From Wiki link above:"As far as we can make out the shipment was legal," Detective Chief Superintendent Rikosylikomisario Timo Virtanen of the National Bureau of Investigation told CBS News. "They were not trying to smuggle the missiles ... they are destined for South Korea."

Detective Superintendent Timo Virtanen of the National Bureau of Investigation said dock workers found the explosives — picric acid — badly stored on open pallets instead of in closed containers. They alerted inspectors who found the missiles in containers marked as holding fireworks.

North Koreans would say fireworks are belligerent.So as not to freak out the NOKORs.
No doubt the SOKORs need all the hardware they can muster in these very crucial stage of new Kim transition in NOKOR. But it and its allies must do the beefing up of forces secretely so as not to upset the already tense situation.
