Britain's ground air defence is described as relying on CAMM without a Patriot-equivalent system in its own inventory. Earlier planning assumed sufficient fighter cover and access to allied missile batteries when needed. That assumption becomes unreliable when allies also lack spare systems and missiles. SAMP/T is proposed as a land-based option using the Aster missile family already bought for the Navy. A later follow-up suggests a common missile pool for land batteries and Type 45 destroyers, expanding an existing supply system.

British ground air defence and a shared Aster missile pool
The discussion connects Britain's limited ground air defence to assumptions about fighters and allied support, then proposes sharing Aster stocks between land forces and Type 45 destroyers.
