US mistakenly shipped Ballistic missile parts to Taiwan

United States shipped four electrical fuses for Minuteman nuclear missile warheads to Taiwan, instead of sending helicopter batteries. The mistake was discovered only last week a year and a half after the shipment. Officials said the nose-cone fuses contained no nuclear material and were similar in function to the ones used for conventional munitions, though these were designed specifically to send an electrical signal to the trigger of the MK-12 nuclear warhead as it was approaching the ground.
