      It reminds me, long ago before 2014, of a finding that the Dutch coast was very vulnerable to a missile attack. It was a type of missile that had become available to terrorist organizations due to wars in the Middle East, that could conceivably be fired by a sea-worthy yacht that was unlikely to be suspicious at the time.

      I myself sent a concerned message to our department of defense. I think in 2023, maybe 2022. Russia had recently threatened an attack against the Netherlands and days after Russian bombers were intercepted. My problem was, they were intercepted WELL WITHIN RANGE OF EVERYTHING!

      In the message I referenced May 10th 1940. A Nazi air raid killed most of our air-force on the ground because they reacted too late. My point was that these bombers would need to be intercepted before getting into range, international waters or not.

      Strategic Defence Review due and suddenly the press is full of these types of story. The more suspicious amongst us would suspect its almost like Service Chiefs were rolling the pitch to try and get more cash out the Government.

      The Government does need to spend more on defence than they would like give the current threat assessment be interesting to see who wins the inter service argument.

      Not surprising to me (I’m British). We have nothing like a Patriot defence system for land and AFAIK any missile defence capability is sea and air based.

      Population centres have no defence at all.

      The Trident deterrent has always done the heavy lifting with the assumption an attack would be answered with a nuclear strike. Not much help for those already bombed of course!
