Aerial Combat

Aerial combat, also known as air-to-air combat or dogfighting, involves military aircraft engaging in battles against each other during a conflict. This type of warfare includes tactics, maneuvers, and weaponry designed to gain superiority in the skies. Pilots must use their skills and technology, such as radar and missiles, to outmaneuver opponents and protect their own forces or complete missions. The goal is to establish control over the airspace, which is crucial for supporting ground operations, defending territory, and engaging enemy forces effectively. Successful aerial combat can significantly influence the outcome of a broader military campaign.
