Weapons to Taiwan
If you’ve ever written an explosive email to someone, only to realize after you hit send that you addressed it to the wrong person, you’ll feel at least a little sorry for the Defense Department. Today they revealed that they mistakenly sent something to Taiwan, except it wasn’t an email, it was a part used to fire an intercontinental ballistic missile. Oops. Caitlin Harrington is a staff reporter for Jane’s Defense Weekly, and she’s been following this little messup.
