I can attest to a similar trade between Canadian EOD and US EOD in Kuwait City, March 1991. The Canadian War Museum wanted a long list of AKs and other Iraqi small arms, and we had access to the Royal Navy minesweeper mothership which had beer and rum. The Americans had AKs and were extremely thirsty after months in the Saudi and Kuwaiti desert. A three way trade was arranged. I think we got 24 unique and different AKs for 24 flats of beer.
