The Libyan Air Defence Force was part of the Air Force and had the second largest defence network in the region ( second to Egypt ).

In 1934, the Air Ministry set up a committee chaired by Sir Henry Tizard to advance the state of the art of air defence in the UK.

By 1916 the lack of co-ordination of the Army's Royal Flying Corps and the Navy's Royal Naval Air Service had led to serious problems, not only in the procurement of aircraft engines, but also in the air defence of Great Britain.

In the defence of Diu, the Vega with a crew of 6, confronted the INS New Delhi, a battle cruiser with over 1200 crew, plus various attacks from Indian Air Force Canberra jet bombers using its sole machine-gun for defence.

The term air defence was probably first used by Britain when Air Defence of Great Britain ( ADGB ) was created as a Royal Air Force command in 1925.

" In some armies the term All-Arms Air Defence ( AAAD ) is used for air defence by non-specialist troops.

Air defence evolution covered the areas of sensors and technical fire control, weapons, and command and control.

Air defence has included other elements, although after the Second World War most fell into disuse:

This was divided into two arms, PVO Strany, the Strategic Air defence Service responsible for Air Defence of the Homeland, created in 1941 and becoming an independent service in 1954, and PVO SV, Air Defence of the Ground Forces.

At the other extreme the United States Army has an Air Defense Artillery branch that provided ground-based air defence for both homeland and the army in the field.

However, all ground-based air defence was removed from Royal Air Force ( RAF ) jurisdiction in 2004.

Air defence had made huge advances, albeit from a very low starting point.

Area air defence, the air defense of a specific area or location, ( as opposed to point defense ), have historically been operated by both armies ( Anti-Aircraft Command in the British Army, for instance ) and Air Forces ( the United States Air Force's CIM-10 Bomarc ).

The U. S. Air Force, in conjunction with the members of NATO, has developed significant tactics for air defence suppression.

The Squadron had close links with 42 ( R ) ( formerly 236 OCU ) of the Royal Air Force before the latter was disbanded in the government defence review in 2010.

Some 16 of these were allocated to trade defence, but given Trenchard's policy ( which was still in place after his retirement ) of developing bombers for the maritime arm which could bolster the air offensive, most were unspecialised for ASW, and the Air Ministry were thoroughly uninterested in any aircraft which fell outside of the bomber function.

When Admiral Dudley Pound enquired about aerial assets in trade and commerce defence, Chief of the Air Staff Cyril Newall, replied that there was not enough " jam " to go around and stated it was more advisable to risk losses on trade routes than weaken the RAF's ability to protect Britain from air attack and bomb its enemies.

A separate Air Defence Command had SA-2, SA-3, SA-5 Gammon, and SA-8b Gecko, plus guns.

all the MiG-29 fighters have been either sold or scrapped, and the Moldovan Air Force has only 2 An-2 Colts, 1 An-26 Curl, 2 An-72 Coalers, 8 Mi-8 Hips, and 12 SA-3 ' Goa ' SAMs in service, manned by 1, 040 personnel.

In the low-level role, which had originally been intended to be performed by the cancelled BAC TSR-2, the V Force were considered by Air Staff planners to be largely immune from interception, the Soviet air defences being assessed as having no significant interception capability below 1, 500 ft, any remaining threat coming from the SA-3 low-level surface-to-air missile, flight planners taking care to route aircraft around known SA-3 sites.

The 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade operates SA-3 and SA-6 surface-to-air missile systems.
