AIR power is about reach. Reach of the
fighter aircraft, but supported and sustained
by a complex system of transport aircraft,
helicopters, midair refuelers, AWACs, communication
assets, ultramodern airbases, and certain
other factors. Timely supplies of equipment
and weapons, and logistics, constitute the
backbone of combat jet operations.

engagement systems, weapons, electronic
warfare platforms, AWACs, midair refueling,
long-range night attack capability, secure
connectivity, anti-missile capability, well-protected
modern airbases, space assets, Unmanned
