#6 Doesn't have to be a truck. Could also be a towed launcher. Easier to construct, for one. Makes it easier to hide as well. |

#5 Make it easy for those trucks to scoot, pave the whole damn place. |

#4 I think we still have a dozen JSTARS or so. And Camp Lemonnier is right handy too. Just sayin'. |

#3 I expect a jStars could track one like a rat. But they are scarce to nonexistent. |

#2 As I understand it, the missiles can be launched from trucks, so they can "shoot and scoot". It would be difficult or impossible to take out the actual launcher. |

#1 Seems like they need to be reminded a bit more firmly. Perhaps tomahawk the control centers and launch site as well as the radars. |
