>>How did the smugglers get their hands on them? No idea. Smuggling isn't a business I've ever engaged in so I don't really know how those people do what they do.

I believe a "smuggling operation" is a better description and is the term the aforementioned reference used." Ok, fine. How did the smugglers get their hands on them? Remember, this was parts for the F14, not something like Stingers which we hand out like candy and have huge stockpiles of. Any inventory shrinkage would be noticed very quickly. You might want to encourage i-node to look at the congressional hearings in the early 90s. The Reagan administration was quite the enabler when it came to selling military parts to the world.
