Scott Gearity has a much-appreciated mention of an Arms Control Today article I wrote about Ukraine’s Kh-55 missile exports.
I do, however, wish to correct one small inaccuracy in his description of the piece.
Scott writes:
Ukraine has now admitted violating its commitments under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) by exporting KH-55 air-launched cruise missiles to China and Iran…
I wrote that Ukraine admitted the transfers, which
… are apparently contrary to Ukraine’s commitments under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). Since 1998, Ukraine has been a member of the 34-member MTCR…
As of that article, I had not seen anything indicating that Ukraine has admitted violating the MTCR. The United States has not taken a position on the matter, as far as I know.

Thanks, but no groveling necessary.

I’m wondering where did the 582 number (of missiles transferred to Russia) come from? I have a somewhat different number 581 (and the numbers don’t add up anyway).
