The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5258

Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, three container trucks were speeding on the highway in Antalya, a port city in Turkey. These containers held three disassembled former Soviet-made AK-360 close-in anti-aircraft guns and their supporting ammunition.

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Turkey, Ukraine, and Georgia had become leaders in the black arms market in Eastern Europe.

After the fall of the Soviet Union and the significant changes in Eastern Europe, almost all countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea had become black markets for arms trading, with Turkey, Ukraine, and Georgia being at the forefront of this trade.

Hundreds of millions of Soviet-made weapons and equipment were sold worldwide from these countries, and what made them stand out was not just the huge transaction volume but also the fact that almost all weapons and equipment were available for purchase, as long as one had the money. Except for strategic nuclear missiles and fifth-generation aircraft, buyers could get their hands on almost any weapon or equipment.

These countries even sold close-in defense guns produced in the former Soviet Union, and with enough money, one could even obtain the raw materials for nuclear weapons.
