Missiles Stolen From Ukrainian Naval Base

(Kiev, Ukraine) Breaking news from The Australian:

Two anti-aircraft missiles and a launch system have gone missing from a Ukrainian naval base in the Crimean peninsula.

Guards came across two unidentified persons breaking into a weapons depot near Chernomorskoye, western Crimea, the defence ministry said today.

The two escaped, but guards then discovered a depot with a forced padlock from which two missiles stored in containers and a launch system for the Strela-3M portable air defence missile system were missing.

The Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Navy, Igor Matviyenko, is overseeing a search for the thieves and an investigation of the circumstances. In the meantime, we've got portable SAMs loose in the Ukraine.
