Summary/Abstract: Airpower is, on the one hand, an important pillar of the Alliance defence capabilities. On the other hand, in the author’s opinion, NATO air power is in continuous decline. To detail, capabilities deficits continue to grow, which results in the Alliance vulnerability and exposure to the risk of not being able to adequately meet the security needs and the set level of ambition. In addition, the future security environment analysis and prognosis lead to the conclusion that the Alliance will have to operate in a new environment, a complex and multidimensional one, across the full spectrum of objectives and missions, required by a new global balance of power.
