asam (answered before)
I am not sure I get this could someone explain please. Might just be me !
a Sam(surface to air missile)
Emeritus A SAM (Surface to Air Missile)
That was my first thought but its 2 words, and where does curtailed fit in the definition. Thanks for responding.
emeritus - not you, just a really poor clue IMO (that's the RTE for you...) -

ASAM - 1st letters of 'Air-Surface Attack Missile' or 'Advanced Ship-to-Air Missile'

I can only think, shortened, reduced etc from a sam (two words) to asam (one)
Thanks, LIK, but that answers "initially" but not "curtailed". Perhaps, as you say, a poor clue.
Thank you LIK. I guess it must be ASAM then but I am still a bit puzzled with "curtailed" . Anyway that's it for me. Have a nice evening everyone.
