As the missile is launched, he discovers an L-39 Albatros with [[Mnogo Nukes\|nuclear torpedoes]] on board... * ''[[Lord of War]]'' has had several - all illegal.

There are stands for collector's swords some of whom could actually be used in combat by someone who knows how. * During the [[Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan]] the entire Pakistani side of the Afghan-Pakistan border was one big arms fair where weapons from Anyone With A Beef With Russia could be had by the guerrillas. It was also a [[War Room]] for [[The Alliance]], a hospital network, and anything else that had to do with giving a [[Take That]] to Russia. {{reflist}} [[Category:Military and Warfare Tropes]] [[Category:Arms Fair]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
