Small Croatian Island Becomes ‘Unofficial’ Pentagon Arms Supply Hub
Low-cost airlines packed with sun-seekers are the norm for Rijeka airport on the Croatian island of Krk.
But since April, they have been sharing a runway with vast cargo planes carrying munitions and unidentified military supplies for the Pentagon’s wars in the Middle East, the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network has discovered.
Reporters have identified 14 cargo flights in the past six months carrying, or probably carrying, Eastern Bloc-style weapons and ammunition for the US military.
