Air Combat Maneuvering

Air Combat Maneuvering refers to the tactical movements used by fighter aircraft during aerial dogfights to gain an advantage over an opponent. This involves a combination of speed, agility, and strategic positioning to outmaneuver the enemy, avoid attacks, and create opportunities to strike. Pilots utilize various techniques, such as climbing, descending, and turning sharply, to control the fight’s dynamics. The goal is to gain a superior angle to launch attacks while minimizing vulnerability. Successful air combat maneuvering requires skill, awareness, and quick decision-making under the pressures of high-speed flight.
