The article deals with complex active and passive air defence activities carried out by Viet Cong and civilian population during the long war in Vietnam using nonspecialised means of fighting and unconventional ways of disturbing American air strikes. The methods and ways of operation of particular military services and the civilian population of Northern Vietnam that were applied in direct fighting against American Air Forces are characterised and exemplified in the paper. Activities limiting the results of air destructive combat agents played an important role in this respect. The evaluation of methods and ways of organisation and common air defence takes into consideration political, economic, terrain and weather conditions when American Air Forces strikes were conducted. Undertaking complex and common counteractions against American Air Forces brought out many results reflected in the final of that long war. The commentaries and opinions of military experts included in the article confirm this. It is stressed in these opinions that common air defence in Vietnam was a significant support for specialised Air Defence, being an indispensable component of integrated and joint Air Defence. Although many years have passed since the war in Vietnam, the common air defence has not lost its advantages: surprise, flexibility and effectiveness also in the contemporary battlefield as it has been proved in recent armed conflicts in Iraq, Kosovo or Afghanistan. It is clear that the methods and ways of common air defence used in the war in Vietnam were continued and developed regardless the terrain and environment where the fighting and operations were waged. Their results, as in Vietnam, were surprisingly good. In this context, common air defence again proved its effectiveness efficiently counteracting new technological advances and achievements that are applied in modern armed forces.

In the article there were discussed the transformations of views on armoured and mechanised troops used to fight against irregular forces in selected armed conflicts after World War II, i.e. Vietnam, Afghanistan and Chechnya. During the armed conflict in Vietnam the armoured and mechanised intervention and Saigon’s forces were used, among other things, to reconnoitre the probable location of Vietcong units, to carry out direct support to the infantry and airborne subunits in the anti-guerrilla operations, to reinforce defence of the bases, to defend the important transportation routes and bridges, to cover the marching troops as well as transports of different destination. In Afghanistan, the Russians, after their first failures, tried to take advantage of American experience from Vietnam, adjusting it only to the different terrain conditions. Heavy, mechanised tactical units were exchanged for the small, independently operating ones. The same strategy was applied in Chechnya. After the failures of tank attacks at Grozny, the tactics was changed. Instead using tanks in massive attacks, some small 10-100-person assault groups were created to strike at selected targets. In the conclusion, there were indicated the tendencies that appear in the tactics of using armoured and mechanised troops to fight against irregular troops.
