| air avenue of approach | маршрут подлёта к цели (Air avenues of approach are evaluated using the same criteria as for the ground. A good air avenue of approach will permit maneuver while providing terrain masking from surface-to-air weapon systems. Some common air avenues of approach are valleys, direct lines from the enemy point of origin, and river beds (FM 3-01.44 Short-Range Air Defense Operations) PX_Ranger) |
| air-breathing defense | ПВО воздушного базирования (Directly speaking, in a typical active air defense scenario, the threats are handled by ground-based air defense systems and air defense aircraft. The ground-based defense systems are usually located in a way that they provide a layered defense and, therefore, redundancy. Air-breathing defense platforms are the gap fillers and assist the ground-based systems, especially in case those systems are saturated by electronic warfare and decoys.  behorizon.org 4uzhoj) |
