air dominance

Air dominance is the ability of a military force to control the skies, ensuring they can operate freely while preventing enemy aircraft from doing the same. It involves superior aircraft, tactics, and technology to monitor, intercept, and destroy opposing air assets. Achieving air dominance means having clear airspace for support, surveillance, and attack missions, reducing the enemy’s ability to influence ground or sea operations. This control is essential for establishing and maintaining overall military advantage, as it provides the freedom to move, gather intelligence, and strike with reduced risk.
