What is the point of the reference to Hellfire - this isn't the only anti-tank missile that South African couldn't buy!JohnC (talk) 03:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Because Hellfire is the one that they actually did try to buy. Take note of the date. By 1996 the UN arms embargo was over but the US still had a separate embargo in place due to an unresolved espionage issue. The Mokopa is a direct substitute for Hellfire.
