Counterair Operations

Counterair Operations are military activities aimed at gaining control of the airspace by targeting enemy aircraft, missiles, and air defenses. The goal is to protect friendly forces and infrastructure while limiting the enemy's ability to operate in the air. This involves offensive actions like attacking enemy planes and defenses, as well as defensive measures to defend against incoming threats. Think of it as a battle for control of the skies, ensuring friendly forces can move safely and carry out their missions without interference from the enemy’s air capabilities.
