I believe they were nose cone detonators. So we are talking about non-nuclear explosive devices, just a component of the missile, and mostly harmless by itself. I’m guessing on par with C4. When discovered by Taiwan it was presumably on the way to China so they could get that technology for their weapons systems. I’m assuming Taiwan returned them, if I’m remembering correctly they notified US Mil when they realized received parts weren’t helicopter batteries. But that’s from memory. Could be wrong. I think they shipped via USPS too. Basic freight from east coast to west coast, then to Taiwan.
Presumably the broken arrow that flew to Barksdale was returned to Minot.
