War in Ukraine, Aerospace Power, principles of WarAbstract
The War between Russia and Ukraine raises possibilities for analysis for the employment of Aerospace Power. The article uses the principles of war as theorized by Antoine-Henri Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz as a tool for analysis of aerospace warfare in this conflict. Through a survey of facts observed in the war from news websites, academic institutes, and social media, it points out relationships between principles of war and the events of the conflict, concerning the employment of the Russian Aerospace Force and the Ukrainian Air Force. In addition to inferences that exemplify the application of the principles, the main contribution of the article is to identify those principles of war, originally designed for surface warfare, can be extrapolated to contextual analyses of aerospace warfare.
