Through unified command, give play to their respective advantages, use them economically and rationally, and cooperate closely to give play to the overall power; According to the principle of unified layout and regional responsibility, all kinds of air defense forces and weapons are used in a centralized way, with key fortification, key defense and extensive maneuvering. The main force is used in the main attack direction and important targets (regions), forming an annular defense with a certain depth and steps, forming an air fire distribution system combining high, medium and low altitude, long, medium and short range, and can continuously intercept enemy air-raid weapons from a long distance; Take the initiative to attack, strictly protect, and carry out air strikes against the enemy with active combat and campaign actions, destroy enemy air strike forces and weapons in the air, or destroy enemy air strike weapons at bases or launch sites; Take measures such as concealment, evacuation, camouflage and protection to maintain the stability and viability of the air defense system and reduce the harm of enemy air strikes; Maintain a high degree of vigilance and quick response ability, can carry out air defense operations under any complicated and difficult circumstances, respond quickly and effectively to air strikes from the enemy, and destroy their sudden attacks.
