Synopsis

In the nuclear age, an entire city can be destroyed by a single missile fired by a single plane. Intercepting enemy attacks through rapid pre-emptive strikes is crucial for any successful air mission.

This volume tackles the complexities of the armed systems used by today’s air defence organisations and the modern pilot. Footage of high speed dogfights and close combat action from the original Top Gun Fighter Weapons School shows a powerful but heavy US Navy Tomcat duelling with the smaller and more agile F-16 for supremacy in the sky.

In-depth interviews with pilots around the globe give an insight to their training, the tactics used to dodge a hit and what scares them most about dogfights and modern weaponry.

Find out how thrust vectoring can make a fighter weave in a dogfight and why the advanced medium range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) is know as the “fire and forget.” System.
