Very interesting. But these shipments go both ways, as a friend of mine was camping in Az near a rail line when in the wee hours in the morning a train went by with flatcar after flat car of tanks painted green with red stars. Not Abrams either.

Would not they still be good anti-aircraft missiles

Funny how the correct question makes the correct explanation so easy. A ship embarking Germany, sailing through Finish waters (northeast) is entering the Artic Sea with only one possible destination - Russia!
The Finns probably seized the shipment at the request of the State Dept.

But what your friend didn't see was these guys who were waiting five miles down the tracks to take the tanks out. Wolverines!

Would not they still be good anti-aircraft missiles Against what air force? Bolivia? Yes. Myanmar? Yes. NATO? No. USAF? Hell no.
The missiles are completely frikkin useless without a LARGE Command and Control system that goes with them. They do not launch from a slingshot after wispering in their ears where the target is.

Circuitous Route is best to describe most seagoing cargo shipping.
Shipped a new Ford Raptor to Chile and it stopped at probably 10 ports before getting to Valparaiso and then the ship went on to South Korea.
