What the Americans are doing with private contractors is one thing. But this business was going on in Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, San Marino, etc) where manufacturing weapons to be used in African civil wars is not considered acceptable (or legal). The article details shady business with convicted and/or wanted intenational arms dealers together with shell companies scattered in different countries. And doing that while effectively being on the payroll of Chinese investors who have vested interests in African civil wars (there's a lot of chinese investments going on in Africa).
It's pretty likely that the business surrounding the conversion of the aircraft will lead to criminal investigation and/or convictions in Austria after this exposé.
