		Armscor said it planned to "replace the seven cannon-type devices with seven upgraded devices, when they reached the end of their estimated life by the year 2000." [13] The replacement devices would have been deliverable by aircraft and most likely also by ballistic missile, although a final decision about missiles had not been made.
		Armscor said that "no implosion tests were done up to the time that the nuclear program was terminated by the Head of the Government and no prototypes were constructed." Only a couple of concepts were on the table.
		Armscor specialists had to develop the balancing equipment on their own, since foreign procurement could have tipped off intelligence agencies that South Africa was interested in mating a nuclear warhead to a missile.

		Armscor's willingness to sell its weapons FOB rather than CIF may have been based on commercial and logistical considerations since the buyer was then responsible for the shipping arrangements and the related costs.
		Armscor witnesses argued that this requirement was met by the contract of sale between Armscor and Wazan and by the bank drafts received in payment of the goods.
		Armscor consequently functioned behind a wall of secrecy; it employed a range of clandestine methods, such as the use of front companies, to evade the embargo; and it operated in the world of illicit arms dealing where the rules are somewhat different from those laid down in South African statutes and regulations.

		Armscor might have preferred a gun-type warhead because it was within reach of the existing design, although it would have required further development.

		A director of the South African defence parastatal Armscor and former head of African National Congress military intelligence is the head of a newly formed company that stands to make billions of rands from government's R32-billion weapons deals, in which the parastatal played a central role.
		During this process Armscor carried a special responsibility for identifying and registering companies to supply product and services on government tender, thus tying the parastatal closely into a process that led to the awarding of major contracts to FBS.
		Mokoape defended his position on Armscor by saying he not only recused himself from decisions regarding Log-Tek (with which he has been associated since 1998) but that he had also "walked out of the meetings" where conflict of interest issues could have arisen.
