The Use of the Air Force in 1956-1962 : Opinions
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
In the second half of the 1960s the development of opinions on the air force military operations and tactics was determined by establishing the Warsaw Pact and a fast development of rockets and missiles which disposed the air force of its monopoly in nuclear weapons’ carrying. The Air Force and Air Defence command was of the opinion that in a future war rocket weapons, the main means of carrying nuclear weapons, would support the strategic and long-range air force. It was assumed that large population centres, cities in particular, would be threatened most by nuclear attacks. The rocket weapon, however, was supposed to be complemented by operational air force to support the troops. The Commander of the Air Force and Air Defence of the Territory of the Country, Div. Gen, pilot Jan Frey-Bielecki defined finally the viewpoints on the possibilities and perspectives of the front air force use. He stated that the air force would still be the main means to destroy small and mobile objects as they have to be destroyed immediately after recognising. The bomb and fighters - assault air force suited these purposes best. The bomb air force was still treated as the main assault force of an air army and basic means of the front to carry nuclear bombs.
