Abstract
An important feature of contemporary armed conflicts is the large-scale use of air attack. The events of the last two years have made many experts realize that the present air safety environment is increasingly uncertain, complex, and difficult to forecast. It is therefore justified to present current issues related to anti-missile defense – which, in the authors’ opinion, is crucial for the functioning of NATO border states.The aim of this article is to describe cooperation in the framework of anti-missile defense in the Euro-Atlantic area, which is characterized by a dynamic process of transformation, including ambitions among some countries to dominate in this dimension.This study uses document research and quantitative and qualitative analysis. It reviews the scientific literature on the complex issue of cooperation in the field of missile defense, and uses publicly available information provided by interested institutions. The results show that this cooperation is not a new phenomenon, but it currently requires organized political and military actions from states, including their armed forces.
