Do we still have that BMP-1 turret in the backyard? I've got an idea...
Do we still have that AK-230 naval gun in the backyard? I've got an idea...#1.

Awesome pictures you provided there. Makes me wonder how they "aim" these air/surface-missiles. They don't exactly strike me as modern Wernher von Brauns, if you know what I mean...

These missiles are probably used as (extremely inaccurate) artillery pieces. You've gotta be lucky to hit anything smaller than a town...

What I find "very interesting" is that these "Russian missiles" have all English warnings and shipping data on the transport cases. Hmmm.

The first 6 digits of the serial number (or whatever it is) are the same as on this CAD-image:
Found near the bottom of this page:

Maybe it's only a case of reused boxes .....
or boxes intended for export from Russia
Two missiles in Poland (image from 1991)

See post by Gareth below for more info on arms smuggling.
As long as there is money to be made there will always be someone who is willing to arrange a deal ....

AFAIK that wasn't uncommon for Soviet (Russian) weapon shipments destined outside the Eastern Block.

A number of arms were found in crates with markings that were intended to throw nosy customers officers off the scent. For instance you might see a 107mm rocket labelled "Tractor parts." They were probably intended for sale to a rebel group that Gadaffi sympathized with.

The strings that should connect the steering wheel to the control surfaces of the missiles are missing

Unfortunately I don't have any more, but I think guessing the rest of the camo isn't that difficult at all...

One of the best sites I can personally recommend would be "Oryx blog",there is plenty of great info there on Libya,Syria,and most everything else in the Mideast with some great photos.

I've been to Disney World with the family. Proper camo for DW would be images of way overpriced crappy food and dollar bills flying out of one's wallet.
