THE ULTIMATE BAGGAGE LOST IN TRANSFER BETWEEN FROM COMMERCIAL AIRLINES IN AIRPORTS - AS THE EU SHIPS A HELLFIRE TRAINING MISSILE FROM SPAIN, GERMANY, FRANCE AND EVENTUAL THE COMMUNIST CUBA IN 2014 - BEFORE DIPLOMATIC RELATION COMPLETED IN 2015 - THE CUBANS STILL BEING COMMUNIST HOLDS ON TO THE MISSILE FOR ALL TO EXAMINE AS THE US ENEMIES WILL LIKELY BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF FROM CHINA, N KOREA TO RUSSIA

.......The Hellfire training missile contains an incomplete guidance section and has no operational seeker head, warhead, fusing system or rocket motor.
The U.S. official told the AP that Lockheed was authorized to export the dummy missile for a NATO training exercise. The official attributed the shipping error to Lockheed's freight forwarders, and said the U.S. was working with Lockheed to get the device back.
The official said the U.S. doesn't want any defense technology to remain in a proscribed country, whether that country can use it or not. The official said there is greater concern that Cuba could give more technically advanced countries access to the dummy.
According to the Journal report, the missile was properly shipped to Spain, where it was used in the training exercise. It was then taken on a somewhat roundabout journey through Spain, Germany and France before winding up at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. From there, it was supposed to have been shipped back to Florida; instead, it was loaded onto an Air France flight to Havana.
U.S. officials have been urging the Cuban government to return the missile, the Journal's sources said. The U.S. and Cuba restored diplomatic relations in July 2015 after more than 50 years of hostility.
The Journal reported that the U.S. is also investigating whether the missile's disappearance was a deliberate act of espionage.
