What is the point of the reference to Hellfire - this isn't the only anti-tank missile that South African couldn't buy!JohnC (talk) 03:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because Hellfire is the one that they actually did try to buy. Take note of the date. By 1996 the UN arms embargo was over but the US still had a separate embargo in place due to an unresolved espionage issue. The Mokopa is a direct substitute for Hellfire.
