I don't think this is as nefarious as it appears. The company that the shipping container belonged to has this on their website:
Draken is experienced in providing ship services and missile defense support for Naval and land-based assets. Establishing and executing accurate missile profiles to challenge fleet and ground missile defense crews can be accomplished with any of Draken’s 80+ aircraft. With over 30 supersonic assets that can saturate a training event, to our highly capable Electronic Warfare equipped aircraft, Draken is able to provide the needed support for missile defense. Simulating threats to both land and sea based assets, Draken aircraft can be equipped with GFE or commercial pods to accommodate the most discerning customer.
So clearly they're in the missile and missile defense business.

Thanks. I still think it is fair to say that something in the shipping got screwed up though.
