No. It’s not anti-((air defense) searchlight) (an unspecified device against air defense searchlights) but (anti-(air defense)) searchlight (searchlight against air defense).
Still better than what the original title suggests: ((anti-air) defense) searchlight (defensive searchlight against air).

No. It’s not
anti-((air defense) searchlight)(an unspecified device against air defense searchlights) but(anti-(air defense)) searchlight(searchlight against air defense).Still better than what the original title suggests:
((anti-air) defense) searchlight(defensive searchlight against air).Or you could follow the Germans’ way and call it an
antiairdefencesearchlicht(meaning depends on context).Capital letter, too.
