I have but then I quickly remembered I worked on and with such weapon systems, beginning during the Cold War.

What was your MOS?

Also, you’re talking about conventional forces tactics which don’t really apply to this submission much.

The linked article is far broader than special operations.

Sorry, not US, so no MOS. My impression was that the US took a somewhat different route to air defense than the Europeans back then (and not just in terms of continental air defense).

I don't think we need to accuse each other of "ignorance" anymore, but rather we have had different experiences and a different read on the linked text.
