From the ABC News article..

In March 2011, Meyer began working at BAE Systems, a British military contracting company, where he learned the company was trying to sell advanced thermal optic scopes to the Pakistani military.

"We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back," Meyer wrote to BAE Systems manager Bobby McCreight, his former co-worker, according to the lawsuit. "These are the same people killing our guys."

Almost word for word except RT.com alleges it's weapons & artillery meanwhile the ABC website says it was advanced thermal optic scopes.

Now it seems someone isn't telling the truth..be it RT or ABC.. seems Fox News & CBS also report it as thermal optic scopes/ sniper scopes.

Yet a quick look at BAE webpage and their list of products shows that they sell pretty much everything including both the thermal optic scopes and artillery shells.

IMO if you read the guy's quote he said "best gear" which to me means stuff troops would use like optical scopes or other equipment that a soldier would use. Now on the other hand I think if it were artillery he would has said ammunition or weapon systems, but that's just my opinion.
