I don't know what its purposes were, but the less guns(or at least 120 mm guns) in the world, the better if you ask me.

122 mm Rocket Launchers

These things are great. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

They appear to be mostly of Soviet design; who is transporting all of this?

Makes me confused. Anyone here ever contemplated the fact that it's not Arafat who ordered the weapons? That it might be some rogue Muslim terrorist group?

Arafat's just the sucker- he's the guy who doesn't really want war, but does want to pretend he has some kind of control over those who do- which means, naturally, that he looks like a two-faced snake trying to gang-******  the people of Israel and Palestine- which he isn't really, I don't think. I just worry what might happen when the militant Palestinians get sick of him dicking around and put someone in "power" who DOES wanna kill people, and makes no bones about it.

I just read it - thats quite alot of stuff. Funny thing is it reads like the Weapons part of the OFP manual  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Anti Tank missiles - if a ship load of them ever got through Israely (spelling?) tanks should stay a away from Pal' areas cos they might get a little 'bruised'... (by the way, thats not a threat - don't shoot cruise missiles at ME!)

Yeah - 50 was what they said in the beginning.
