Well, I'm sure that Straker would agree with you. But Henderson would not!
He even said in one of the episodes that SHADO's capabilities appeared
adequate, while Straker argued that we needed to be ready for larger
attacks.

That's one of the things that made UFO interesting, is that Straker didn't
have a "blank check". He had to fight to keep SHADO going, fight for money
for expansion. You didn't see that on any other Sci-Fi show of the time.
