Officials say the shipment included anti-aircraft missiles, Katyusha rockets, rocket propelled grenades and C4 explosives.
In hot, sunny climes, these C4 plants are half as efficient again as their C3 counterparts.
The company is part of General Dynamics C4 Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).

Other researchers, meanwhile, are trying to isolate the genes responsible for C4 plants' unusual anatomy and biochemistry.
Most spectacularly and disastrously for his cover in 1977 he shipped to Libya 20 tons of C4 plastic explosives.
Police are looking for two men who fled the scene in a dark hatchback car, possibly a Citroen C4.
On the other hand, C4 photosynthesis seems to have evolved more than 50 times, in 19 families of plant.
In fact, the distinction between C3 and C4 plants is not always clear-cut.
The woman lost control of her red Citroen C4 and hit the elderly couple's home in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, at about 10:25.
The long-running reality game show, which came to an end in September, had been a summer staple on C4 since 2000.
Turning a C3 plant into a C4 one, though, is trickier than conferring flood resistance, since it involves wholesale changes in anatomy.
Many C3 plants, meanwhile, have several of the genes needed for C4 photosynthesis, but do not use them in the same way.
"The GD300 is a game-changing computer that will save lives, " said Mike DiBiase, vice president of Computing Technologies for General Dynamics C4 Systems.

C4 plants often absorb CO2 from the air in one type of cell and then convert it to sugars through photosynthesis in another.
Viking's egg-shaped C4 Outdoor Cooker may look like R2D2, but no 'droid ever put a perfect sear on a three-inch steak like this baby.
The second green car featured was an efficient diesel: the Citroen C4 which can be more economical, and as good as the best hybrid.

Although C4 plants evolved to cope with low levels of carbon dioxide, the workaround comes at a price, since it takes additional chemical energy.

Success would not only increase yields, but also reduce the need for water and fertilisers, since C4 plants make more efficient use of both.
Called C4 plants because they utilize a molecule with four carbons, plants that use this evolutionary trick include sugar cane, corn and other tropical plants.

IRRI's crop scientists, plans to screen the institute's collection of 6, 000 varieties of wild rice to see if any of them display a predisposition for C4 photosynthesis.
The Director-General will continue these consultations and exchanges to gather the views of all members of the UNESCO family in the elaboration of the next Medium-Term Strategy C4.
The C4 high output LED in this flashlight provides up to 180 lumens of light output and a runtime of 50, 000 hours for reliable and long lived operation.

Some C4 plants, for example, absorb CO2 and photosynthesise it at either end of special elongated cells, instead of separating the functions out into two different types of cell.
With high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, C4 plants are not as productive as C3 plants, which do not have the overhead costs of the carbon-dioxide enrichment system.

Competition for viewers included Channel Five's Celebrity Big Brother, which took 1.5m viewers and 7.6% of the audience in an identical timeslot, C4's Million Pound Drop and BBC Two's Proms coverage.
Rated Class 1 Division 1 and Class 2 Division 1 this light is fitted with a high performance C4 LED rated at 50, 000 hours of operational life and 180 lumens of output.

Police believe the men, dressed in dark-coloured anorak-type jackets and balaclavas escaped in a dark-coloured hatchback car, possibly a stolen black Citroen C4, which was found burning nearby in Waldgrave Street, shortly after the shooting.
As a result, certain plants in warm climates have evolved a different mechanism, called C4 photosynthesis, in which other enzymes help to concentrate CO2 around the rubisco, and the initial result is a four-carbon sugar.
The result, in the case of staple crops, is higher yields in tougher conditions: a hectare of rice, a C3 plant, produces a harvest of no more than eight tonnes, whereas maize, a C4 plant, yields as much as 12 tonnes.
Whether plants are C3 or C4, the way they get carbon dioxide from the air is the same: The plant leaves have little holes, or stomata, through which carbon dioxide molecules can diffuse into the moist interior for use in the plant's photosynthetic cycles.
