Clooney did not sell the Stinger missiles to the two Iranian intelligence officers. He sold the batteries for the Stinger missiles.
Give everyone this military knowledge.
When the Stinger missile is launched, the BCU (battery refrigeration module) must be inserted into the handle, which will inject a stream of argon into the system and energize the sight and the missile. However, the battery has only a limited amount of gas and cannot be abused and lacks maintenance. In the case of, the battery will become unusable after a long period of time. In actual combat, it is the step of putting the battery first, then turning on the antenna, and then aiming at something.
In the 1980s, the U.S. Empire provided a large number of weapons to the Afghan guerrillas to fight the Soviet Union through China and Pakistan, including more than 500 stingers. Many of these stingers were left when the Soviet army retreated, and Mi Di did not succeed in taking them all back. Many of them flowed into Iran. This is the scene in the film American agents trading arms with Iranians. He is not selling missiles to Iranians, because these missiles are originally Iranian. The film also elaborates that the missiles are stored in the Iranian storeroom.
Because the missile has been stored for too long, the battery has long been unusable (the battery has been inserted in the missile, and it has a lifespan of one year). So two Iranian intelligence agents approached Clooney to buy batteries. In the film, Clooney first tried the switch of the Stinger missile, and there was no electricity, then he replaced his battery, and the electricity was completed. Clooney's goal is to destroy the two Iranians and destroy the two Stinger missiles. Unexpectedly, one of them was acquired by al-Qaeda.
This is the scene of the arms trade.
PS: The Stinger was successfully copied by China’s military industry, that is, the Vanguard 1. In 1999, in the armed conflict between India and Pakistan in the Kargil area, the Pakistan Army used the "Avantgarde" 1 portable air defense missile imported from China to shoot down the Indian Air Force in one fell swoop. One MiG 21 and one MiG 27 each. Because of its remarkable record, Pakistan decided to introduce technology for production. The Pakistani version of the "Qianwei" 1 licensed by China was named the "Anza" MK.2 portable air defense missile and was installed in the Pakistani army.
