Summary/Abstract: The experience of air fighters has been confirmed by the accomplished tasks, by the victories obtained during the two world wars, as well as by the isolated, local conflicts in which they have been involved. The air victories, as well as the defeats have provided many lessons and conclusions on the concepts and structure of air operations, the ways for cooperation between the air force branches or between them and the other categories of armed forces and on the organisation, procedures and methods of action in combat of the Romanian aircraft in modern warfare. Today, as the authors consider, Romania has succeeded, through sustained and consistent efforts, in achieving two fundamental goals - to accede to NATO and the EU. From this position, the Romanian Air Forces should develop in keeping with both the risks and threats to national security and with the assumed objectives and the requirements of full integration into Euro-Atlantic security structures, namely the European ones.
