Usually they airfreight them on planes leased from
former Soviet republics flying over land.

Deliberate shootdown over another country would be
a provocation.

Remember that shipment of Scuds that the US and Spanish Navies intercepted in the Indian Ocean just prior to the Iraqi War?

The shipment was bound for Yemen and was onboard a freighter. It was allowed to continue on after a few days, but I often wonder where those missiles would have ended up if we hadn't shown our interest in them.
