Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2011, Vol 2011, Issue 3
Abstract
The subject of research considerations discussed in the article is the selected by the author military theoreticians’ concepts that both in the past and now are the basic interpretation of strategic assault organization and performance conducted by air force (and currently other air assault assets). In military experts’ opinion this armed forces’ service is perceived as the most appropriate to this kind of operations. It is commonly agreed that air forces allowed reaching political and military goals both on their own and in cooperation with other armed forces’ services. According to the author, in order to assess the air forces’ predispositions to perform strategic assault, two components should be taken into considerations. The first one concerns possessing various air platforms of substantial combat capabilities. The second one refers to taking advantage of air environment for military goals. Significantly, it is stated in the majority of doctrinal assumptions relating to waging wars that its classical beginning is to achieve air superiority. Thus, the author treats air superiority as a necessary condition to initiate a land or sea operation. Therefore, he believes that the fight for air superiority along with strategic assault create realistic possibilities to eliminate the most important objects in particular sub-systems creating military power of a given country and consequently lead to lowering its survivability and capabilities to wage a war.
