In this regard, the authors emphasise the role and means of air threat as a kind of pacemaker development of air defence systems. In this article, the main area of scientific considerations are technical and tactical aspects concerned with the evolution of manned and unmanned aircraft. The directions of their development of combat capabilities and an estimate of their use in contemporary and future battlefields against military objectives and non-military ones are covered. The article has high educational value and highlights future threats to the state air defence system and development trends in the twenty-first century.

The subject of the analysis is the location of nuclear weapons in the strategy and security policy of the People’s Republic of China. The aim of the article is to present and evaluate the importance of nuclear weapons to ensure China’s deterrence and defense ability against military threats. It discusses the evolution of the Chinese communist authorities’ approaches to nuclear weapons and the perception of its essence in modern times. This issue was considered in the strategic, political and theoretical dimension. The main thesis of the article is the statement that the importance of nuclear weapons has been systematically growing in the context of the need to provide China with greater defense and deterrence capabilities. The modernized nuclear arsenal and extended delivery systems are now very important factors in the promotion of China in the international security system. They give the PRC a psychological advantage in disputes and conflicts with its neighbors, as well as deterrent against the competitive United States.

Przedmiotem analiz jest umiejscowienie broni nuklearnej w strategii i polityce bezpieczeństwa Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i ocena znaczenia broni jądrowej dla zapewnienia sobie przez Chiny zdolności odstraszania i obrony przed zagrożeniami militarnymi. Omówiono w nim ewolucję podejścia komunistycznych władz ChRL do broni nuklearnej i postrzeganie jej istoty we współczesności. Zagadnienie to rozpatrywano w wymiarze strategicznym, politycznym i teoretycznym. Główną tezą artykułu jest stwierdzenie, że znaczenie broni jądrowej systematycznie wzrastało w kontekście potrzeby zapewnienia Chinom większej zdolności obrony i odstraszania. Modernizowany arsenał jądrowy i rozbudowywane systemy jego przenoszenia są obecnie bardzo ważnymi faktorami awansu Chin w międzynarodowym systemie bezpieczeństwa. Dają one ChRL przewagę psychologiczną w sporach i konfliktach z sąsiadami, jak również stanowią czynnik odstraszania wobec konkurencyjnych Stanów Zjednoczonych.

The main aim of this article is to prove the significance of the missile defense system for military deterrence at the allied (NATO) and national level (the US, Poland, etc.). To achieve the aim, theoretical research methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization were applied. The results of the conducted research show that the missile defense system of Poland and other alliance members, and the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System should be considered as the crucial elements of the military deterrence, even though such systems are not offensive in nature. Thus, the formulated thesis undermines the up-to-date understanding of the problem, and therefore may contribute to further discussion on the topic of using means of defensive deterrence.
