Too little too late?
Possibly more a question of "right horse for the course?".If we are worried about a TBM threat, then fair enough.
However, thus far, the threat appears to be OWAS/drones against a point target. Whether an area defence destroyer - however capable - is a more appropriate option than a SkySabre battery and some more niche assets is a question that needs answering. However, not as urgently as the question as to why - as all the force movements were taking place - that said battery was not deployed in advance.....?
