Resumen
MELAMED VISBA, Janiel David. New Wars, New Challenges: Rethinking Strategic Advantages of Air Supremacy in Modern Warfare. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2015, n.44, pp.226-246. ISSN 0121-8697. https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.44.7174.
The objective of the following article is to conduct an analysis of air power and its role in modern warfare. Air power has been used in the last century as an important military tool, due to its strategic advantages. These advantages reflected a military supremacy in traditional wars between states, evidenced in the international system. The new century has highlighted the existence of a new form of struggle with different characteristics than traditional warfare, as these new confrontations face new threats which deviate from conventional warfare. Amidst these struggles, irregular warfare techniques are employed as asymmetric means to fight, questioning the military advantage provided by air power.
Palabras clave : air power; armed conflicts; new threats; asymmetric wars; nonstate actors; military supremacy; modern warfare.
