You are mixing up VSHORAD with CUAS. VSHORAD includes both man portable and vehicle mounted systems such as the RBS 70 acquired by UOR for Latvia.

Folks should remember that prior to 2000, over 400 reservists were in the air defence branch in five batteries which were tasked to provide 5 Javelin missile troops for service in Europe. Missile based VSHORAD for the ARes is a proven capability. The concept of localizing the Atlantic region units integrating them with what will be the primary area for RegF units is one of the solid aspects of this program.

Similarly having the ARes arty units in MB, SK and NW ON aligned with 9 Rocket Regt in Shilo makes sense.

It's also, critically for the reserves, generally really cheap to train AD with sims.
