NEW YORK — When customs agents questioned a carload of Sri Lankan immigrants entering the United States at the Canadian border in the summer of 2006, the men claimed they were headed to a bachelor party in Buffalo.

In reality, there was no party or even a groom.

U.S. authorities say the men instead were part of a secret mission to help rebels locked in a bloody civil war in Sri Lanka by buying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of surface-to-air missiles and smuggling them into their homeland. According to court papers, the men also wanted guns — but not just any guns.

“We need AK-47s, but only if you have Russian-made or American-made,” prosecutors allege one defendant said during a meeting with an undercover agent posing as a crooked arms dealer. “Not the Chinese.”:lol: :lol: :lol:

    As i know
    During the cold war occured on between Russia and USA russians made so many mind blowing and fascinated wepons based on their technologies
    But everyone knows that Russia kicked out from the game ( best demonstration is shutting down the meer )

    And in Russia there were so many drastic situation in Economic sided and Army leaders became poor so what did they do ??

    They sold their weapons for a lower prises even in the presect there some wepons remains and ready for selling

    So low prises
    and quality products

    their military had an exponential growth under putin.. and Mendelev is continuing it too..

    everything is being modified..

    THe old wardog Mi24 will be replaced by the Mi28 by 2010.
    All the MIg 29's are being replaced by SU37's which are more than a match for the F22's and F15 eagles. etc..

    Agree with what you say...................but the drift of the topic I used was;

    AK 47's are made in Russia, not anywhere else, you have the AK 47 immitation Chinese version called T56, US Millitary assault rifle is M16, which doesnt kill the enemy but injures mailnly..................

    Funny part is, these are agents from the so called "WORLDS MOST FEARED GURILLA ORGANISATION", dont know the basics of warfare, very much blown out of proportion, larger than life organization!!!!

    Russians are always known for simple yet effective weapons, they didn't really waste time perfecting engineering like Germans :lol:

    But AK-47 was quite an exception in durability etc.

    i think india and pakistan make Ak47's legally..

    the main us military rifle is the M4 carbine which is a modified version of the M16. but it still shoots the 5.5mm basic nato round.
