Air defence artillery is designed to protect military assets and civilian populations from aerial threats, such as enemy aircraft, missiles, and drones. It employs various weapons systems, including anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles, to intercept and destroy these threats before they can reach their targets. By providing a layered defense, air defence artillery enhances the overall effectiveness of a nation's military operations and contributes to airspace security. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of ground forces and critical infrastructure during conflicts.
