Aviation

Aviation is a branch of technology that includes various aircraft. 

There is civil and military (tactical, strategic) aviation. Each type of aviation performs its own role and has its own aircraft. In particular:

• tactical aviation includes fighters, attack aircraft, bombers and helicopters that perform missions in the combat zone;
• strategic aviation includes heavy and medium bombers, reconnaissance and tanker aircraft that strike targets in the enemy's strategic rear. 

During Russia's war with Ukraine, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine uses aviation to shoot down Russian missiles and drones. Our military also strikes Russian oil refineries and hits Russian military facilities. 

Sometimes, in both civil and military aviation, air crashes occur, which lead to the deaths of people and the destruction of equipment.
