Reuters: U.S. missile defense site in Romania becomes operational
A new U.S. missile defense site south of Bucharest that will defend against potential attacks from Iran has been completed, the United States and Romania announced on Friday.
The Aegis Ashore site includes a powerful radar, missile interceptors and communications equipment.
The system has been handed over to military commanders, who are expected to declare it operational, or ready for initial combat use, in early 2016 as they integrate the site with NATO's broader ballistic missile defense system.
It coincides with deliberations by U.S. officials about how to respond to an Iranian ballistic missile launch on Oct. 10 that violated U.N. Security Council resolutions.
WNU Editor: The claim is that this military site will defend Europe from Iranian ballistic missiles .... Moscow has a different interpretation, even making it very clear that they will destroy these sites in any conflict .... Russia says it can destroy NATO’s antimissile defense systems in Romania and Poland (Romania Insider)

In any conflict all military hardware is a target. So?
Iran can rattle its' saber and Europe can stare back at the ayatollahs and say "So!?!"
