Lotnictwo wojskowe w walce asymetrycznej i nieregularnej

The use of asymmetric warfare is one of the main conditions of a new security environment. Both traditional methods of fighting and classic use of air force (military aviation) are becoming less and less useful in these conditions. Asymmetric threats mean non-state entities’ activeness, whereas asymmetric warfare involves non-state entities’ applying international terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and information technologies in a destructive way, as well as trans-national organised crime, particularly in the drug trafficking area. To its new essence and capabilities, military aviation has several basic areas of use. A different activeness is characteristic for each of these areas. Aviation’s military activeness is directly focused on elements of non-state entity or its environment and can take cooperation or fighting forms. Military aviation’s actions may be directed both towards the entity and its environment as well.
