Whoops!

How do you mistake a helicopter battery for the nose cone of a Minuteman Missile? Taiwan had purchased a supply of helicopter batteries from the US Army, but somehow, they got the nose cones instead! These cones contain the trigger for the missile warheads, so this was a major screwup,giving away nuke weapon technology. China is probably highly displeased!
