Q

Describe control of air

A

because is secure freedom of movement and actions in the air domain. It also can restrict or prevent its used by the adversary. Control of the air protects , UK and overseas territories and deployed forces from attack across maritime and land domains. Control of the air is not a permanent state and constant activity is required to achieve it. certain states are -air parity where no force has decisive control of the air in either time or space.
Air superiority where you achieve through concessive air battles
Air supremacy ; where your adversary has no air capabilities
Ways to achieve this is either offensive counter air missions
And defensive counter air mission. Aircraft utilised for this capability is the typhoon and f35.
On such missions as the NATO operation of BILOXI in Romania when the TYPHOON is used to and scrambled dailt to control the air and deter Russian fast jets,
