Quick question and an answer please.

Q.Why does the UK not have SAM systems on a par with what we have witnessed used by other nations this year? Such as the Ukraine or Russian, Israel, Syria.


Threat= Primary threat a short notice/reaction time terrorist based? Secondary threat same old same old as before?
Cost= Surely manageable?


Not counting RN used around inshore UK as "flak ships".
I just wonder.
