Fallout Re: Transport for U.S. Patriot Units-Update!

MEADS successful in interoperability testing with NATO defence shield program testing. This was a landmark test as this was the first time it has been tested outside of the U.S., Italian and German sphere. This mobile system is still on track for final flight testing in 2012 @ White Sands NM test range.

The Oshkosh FMTV (See above post.) might be considered as a possible mobile launcher for MEADS as well but, it's only a rumor.

As a quick side note Russia kills the S-300 deal with Iran last week IAW latest UN sanctions.
