However , a snapshot of that day cannot explain the importance of airpower .
不過,這一點點情況不足以說明制空權的重要性。
The us may be in a military airpower race with china , but only one side is racing .
美軍正在與中國進行制空權的較量,但確只是一場單邊的競爭。
After the revolt spread , col. gadhafi 's forces rallied behind tanks and airpower and launched a fierce counterattack .
叛亂蔓延后,卡扎菲的部隊用坦克和飛機開路,發起猛烈反擊。

A recent study by the london-based international institute for strategic studies ( iiss ) concluded that china was also close to beginning the production of aircraft-carriers , which would give it the ability to project airpower over great distances .
