...The Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported over the weekend that the vessel Arctic Sea had been carrying x-55 cruise missiles and S300 anti-aircraft rockets hidden in secret compartments among its cargo of timber and sawdust.

If they had they would have sunk it. It would have disappeared forever.

This story does not make a lot of sense to me. Why not ship the missles via the Caspian Sea, or by air?

Not neccessarily. Just dump the junk overboard and problem solved in this case while everyone else is focused elsewhere.

This kind of tact could have several beneficial spinoffs in that it would focus on the story of it missing and eventually someone would talk from the crew (if they weren’t killed by the Russians) that could expose the real mission. This news would make for a very tough thing for the Rusklies to deal with.

It might also explain the sudden story about Russia pulling back on its agreement to arm the Mullahs with the advanced anti-aircraft missle systems.

Maybe specifically to obfuscate and hide the traces. But I guess you have a valid point. The “Mossad story” seems quite speculative and thin on evidence.
