Updated: Live Guided Air-To-Air Missile Discovered At Florida Airport

Florida airport is evacuated after live French S-530 air-to-air MISSILE is found in a shipping container - and Air Force bomb squad are called to remove it

A contractor who was working at a Florida airport opened up a container to find a live missile. 

The shocking find happened on Friday afternoon at Lakeland Linder International Airport east of Tampa.

It's not known how the missile arrived at the airport which is mainly used for private jets and no longer for any kind of military use. 

Members of the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal Flight at MacDill Air Force Base remove a French air-to-air missile delivered to Draken International at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Florida

The container that also had aircraft parts inside belongs to Draken International.  

The firm, which is based at the airport has links with the military and owns a fleet of about 150 former military aircraft it contracts out for training exercises.

After the discovery on Friday, the airport was quickly evacuated and bomb disposal experts from nearby MacDill Air Force Base were called in to remove the warhead which was still live, but not armed. 

'It was like having a gun with bullet in chamber, but on safety. Someone would have to arm the missile to fire it,' said Air Force 1st Lt. Brandon Hanner, a spokesman for the 6th Air Refueling Wing, who spoke to the Military Times. 'It was live, but unarmed.'

The missile was described as a French-made S-530 air-to-air missile and is not used by the US Military. 

After being called by Lakeland, the 6th Air Refueling Wing’s sent a flatbed truck to pick up the missile.

The crew worked alongside the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) and the Lakeland Fire Department who brought it back to the base where it is currently being stored.

'Draken International, in the process of evaluating arriving shipments discovered something questionable and potentially explosive. Adhering to the explosive safety rule of exposing the minimum amount of people for the minimum amount of time to a potential explosive hazard the decision was made to evacuate the facility and its surrounding neighbors and contact the appropriate authorities,' the company wrote in a statement. 

Fortunately, personnel with the Lakeland Fire Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the EOD team from MacDill safely removed the ordnance. But talk about a MIS-guided missile, amirite? 

BREAKING: Live guided air-to-air missile discovered at Florida airport near Tampa; markings indicate a Matra R530F radar-guided missile that could bring down Air Force One

A live air-to-air, radar-guided missile was just discovered at the Lakeland Linder Airport in Florida, East of Tampa, and the airport was ordered to evacuate. We have analyzed the markings of the missile storage container and discovered this missile is a Matra R530F missile, which uses radar guidance and could be used to bring down Air Force One or a similar-sized airplane.

This is highly relevant to current events, given that a U.S. Air Force helicopter used to help provide security to President Trump during short flights was fired upon last week, causing an emergency landing to be initiated, after which one occupant required hospitalization, according to media reports.

We also know that communist China has been smuggling weapons components into the United States to arm Black Lives Matter terrorist groups with automatic weapons upgrades and illegal suppressors, as Natural News has previously reported, citing U.S. Customs and Border Protection press releases.

AmericanMilitaryNews.com is carrying the details of this radar-guided missile which was discovered in the Lakeland Linder Airport, citing both BayNews9 and ABC Action News. From AMN:

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from MacDill Air Force Base came to help safely remove the missile Friday.

“This weekend we received a call that a contractor at Lakeland Linder Airport had discovered a guided missile. Our 6th EOD team helped secure it with the help of ATF, the Lakeland Fire Department, and our 6th LRS team who provided a flatbed semi for transportation,” MacDill Air Force Base said in a statement posted to Facebook on Monday. “It is currently sitting in a munition storage facility on base awaiting proper disposal.”

Here are some photos released by the U.S. Air Force of its disposal efforts:

The markings say: MIS A/A MP EM F20 S520   Lot 82, Serial Number 5185

According to the orange ring on the right edge of the photo above, the missile is “live,” meaning it carries live explosives. The red ring indicates the missile also contains its own propulsion fuel, which is of course a different kind of explosive.

“Lakeland Linder Airport officials eventually gave the “all clear” after the missile was taken away,” reports American Military News. “Markings on the left side of the missile’s container read “RJAF Jordan Air Forces,” indicating the missile or its container may have belonged to the Royal Jordanian Air Force.”

But wait… what’s an unaccounted air-to-air missile doing in an airport in Florida?

Who brought it in, and how? What is its intended purpose?

It’s not the U.S. military, obviously, or the missile wouldn’t be Jordanian. This means someone else brought it into the United States. For what purpose was it brought into the country?

One clue may be found in this 2019 article from The Aviationist, which documents the discovery of the exact same type of missile — with serial number 5284 — which was found to be in the possession of a neo-nazi extremist gang operating out of Italy.

In fact, the Polizia di Stato conducted a raid on the neo-nazis and discovered this same air-to-air missile in their possession, according to media reports. As the story explains, the neo-nazi group was trying to sell the missile to someone else for nearly half a million Euros:

The investigation began last year while monitoring Italian foreign fighters involved in combat operations in the Dombass region in Ukraine. While monitoring telephone communications of one of the suspects, the Police discovered the presence of the missile and some attempts to sell it to an unknown client for 470,000 Euro. The Police then proceeded to retrieve the missile in a warehouse near Voghera-Rivanazzano Terme airport, in northern Italy.

The above photo indicates that Italian police have managed to figure out how to open a missile container, which itself is something of a miracle.

As the story explains, these missiles are made by French weapons manufacturers, and they are sold to Qatar and apparently Jordan. They are intended to be fired from “Mirage” fighter jets, which are also manufactured in France.

In effect, the so-called “Super 530” missiles are intended to be fired from French-made Mirage fighter jets, for the purpose of destroying other aircraft.

Do Mirage fighter jets exist anywhere in Florida? Perhaps so. The idea isn’t as far-fetched as you might imagine. A flight entertainment company called Fighter-Jet-Rides.com offers flights in Russian Mig fighter jets, and they’re located at the Aurora Aerospace Training Facilities, not far from Tampa. It’s not difficult to imagine that someone in Florida might have a Mirage fighter jet up and running, too. (We are not intending to imply that this Mig fighter jet entertainment company has anything to do with this, merely pointing out that functional fighter jets obviously do exist under civilian control, in Florida.)

Can missiles made for Mirage fighters be fired by other military aircraft? We don’t know. But with time to modify the interface, it certainly seems feasible that some well-funded anti-American terror group operating out of Florida could possess this missile while having access to a fighter jet that could be deployed in an effort to literally shoot down Air Force One and assassinate President Trump.

And if this one missile just happened to be discovered, how many more missiles have been transported into the United States without being seen?

It looks to me like someone is arming up for a war against America, to be waged from inside America. November 4th, anyone? With the unwatchable DNC convention causing nationwide nausea among likely voters, the Democrats may be desperate enough to try kinetic weapons if they can’t rig enough cheat-by-mail ballots.

In any case, the spectrum of possible conflict in the USA just got upgraded from “rifles” to “missiles.” What’s next, suitcase nukes?
