Fallout Re: IDF OOB project.

Just walked in the door so, first off my apologies to Amit and Don I got systems crossed with missiles.

That being properly done, I think and in keeping with established practice "David's Sling" should be used in naming the Med Range. Yes it uses the "Stunner" missile, however, the "Patriot" is a Missile System not a missile it actually uses the MIM-104missile and now the newer "PAC-3 MSE.

The PATRIOT System has also since inception used the STANDARD, PAC-2 ATM, GEM-T and GEM-C missiles.

This is marketing no one remembers MIM-104 but most everyone knows the PATRIOT System as the also "PATRIOT" missile.

Have a great weekend!

Regards,
Pat
