And, yes, would seem by its fundamental nature to be someone other than India, and someone wanting a fairly high-volume program. Syria and Myanmar come to mind, but the potential that it was someone else is rather disturbing. Saudi Arabia, for example... That goes beyond extraordinary into disturbing.

Beyond that, I don't know. As for the MTCR, it consists of voluntary guidelines, so MTCR violations are not, strictly speaking, a legal issue. That doesn't mean that all procurement efforts everywhere for the missile and space programs have been legal, of course.

Is it possible that nuclear technology that was transferred by the Khan network to India got its way to other countries? Do we know something about other items (like missile related items) that were illegally sold to India (I am no MTCR expert, so I don't know what would constitute an illegal trade to India)? jens hey,
