News of the last two weeks:
Well Don probably did the right thing to take the time to make MEADS a mobile launcher system (Thanks! , I'll have to get you to do the same for PATRIOT someday!?!) and keep it in the game for Italy though if it does survive (Oh yes apparently it still has a pulse!), the unit is ready to be transferred to the U.S. and Germany. Even after the U.S. and Germany have announced the cutting off of funding, they will keep it funded through the developmental stage, but this process is allowing the opportunity for continued success with now the possibility of a couple of new partners to get involved within the next two years that could in combination save this program.
