Lotnictwo w działaniach antyterrorystycznych : akcja na lotnisko Entebbe w Ugandzie 3 lipca 1976 r.

In a potential armed and non-armed conflict, troops and special operations will be applied more widely than regular military formations. Experience shows that air strikes are extremely effective, particularly retaliation actions carried out using not substantial but very efficient and determined forces as for instance the Israeli assault landing on Entebbe airport, the attack on an Iraqi reactor in 1981, the attack on PLO Headquarters in Tunis in 1985. The July 1976 events showed the air force as a transport means for special troops. The air force, however, is a precise assault measure, striking into the enemy's sore points and also an element of combat actions which becomes a very vivid enforcement and deterrence means. Sophisticated air force equipment and well-trained crews allowed conducting very difficult and complex operations on objects located in a far distance. The events presented above proved that the air force is the basic means to wage special operations and holds the main position in such actions.
