Abstract

The article discusses the growing concern over the use of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) agents. It highlights that, despite international condemnation, many countries have access to these weapons, and the ineffectiveness of international treaties to prohibit them. The importance of adequate training for armed forces is emphasized, as contamination by NBC agents can occur rapidly, requiring quick and precise decisions during aerial operations. The use of protective equipment is essential, although it may limit military dexterity. The article concludes that in a rule-less war scenario, preparation is crucial for defense and victory.
