Evalua8or, to extend that discourse, could you elaborate why the French have A2A Helicopter defence of Paris against light-aircraft threat, whereas UK has not (as far as I know)?

Presumably UK either does not regard light aircraft as a threat, or relies on FJ cover? Would FJ be able to reliably destroy a light aircraft intent on targeting a politically significant target in London, without casually endangering the public?
