Woooo! Where do they keep their jets, may be I could sell a few on PDF.

Maybe they're just covering it up. Might have been stolen over a period of time and they only noticed it now. No one is silly enough to leave a military warehouse unguarded.

It'll be interesting to see where they turn up anyways.

It's the Iranian affiliates, they are preparing an armed revolution in Kuwait.

To Syria yes, to lybia no. Weapons from Lybia were moved to Syria in the begining of the syrian conflict.

guess what, It was Saudi cleric Al-Arifi who in the last October called for the Emir of Kuwait to step down, saying he was not qualified for the job and didn’t satisfy the religious conditions of an Islamic ruler and his comments caused an uproar and outrage in Kuwait.

In other words, those weapons were transported to Turkey and Jordan, then they will be given to terrorists in Syria.. Kuwait made an excuse of "Stolen"..

ok if jet engines can be stolen maybe China should stop developing engines and just stake out Israel warehouses and start stealing, cause apparently their military is non existent and don't really care about anything.

Israeli Solder 1: Hey, look some chinese guys are stealing our jet engines!!
Israeli Soldier 2:Yea who care! Our Engines get stolen now and then!

I read a few Arabic reports about the incident. It's actually just ammunition (bullets) that was stolen, not guns. The entire kuwaiti army is 25K. 20,000 M16's is just about the entire Kuwaiti stock. This is possibly an attempted to embarrass the kuwaiti defence minister by his political opponents.

Kuwait has many influential Shia businessmen and politicians, that's why they have been neutral towards syria. They also fear Iran which is not to far from their coast.

[Spring Onion]
