DEFENSE CAPABILITIES AND CAPABILITY AGAINST BALLISTIC ROCKETS
DEFENSE CAPABILITIES AND CAPABILITY AGAINST BALLISTIC ROCKETS

Summary/Abstract: After following the research of the bibliography of some authors from abroad and in the country, the authors of the article analyze the existing doctrines, regarding the air defense against nuclear ballistic missiles, as an essential component of the modern war and, as such, formulate their opinions on this subject. The authors conclude that the defense against ballistic missiles is the current essential danger, not only for the armed forces but also for the population and, in general, in case of use thereof, for the very existence of life on the Blue Planet. Analyzing the capabilities and defense capability against ballistic missiles, the authors point out that the existing AEGIS capabilities in Romania, through their technical-tactical characteristics and, in particular, the Deveselu Missile Shield, designed to intercept short or intermediate-range ballistic missiles, together with the other antiaircraft missile and artillery systems for air defense of the territory, represents the ballistic missile defense system of the eastern border of the European Union and the member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty.
