所谓超视距空战,是指在目视范围之外,通过机载探测设备搜索发现和截获敌空中目标,并用中、远距空空导弹进行攻击的一种空战样式,其攻击距离大约为10～100千米以上。而10千米正好是用航炮或近距格斗导弹进行目视空战的上限,10千米之内的空战称为视距空战或近距空战,将10～100千米之内的空战称为中距空战,将100千米以上的空战称为远距空战。因此,超视距空战也就包括中距空战与远距空战。超视距空战,是随中、远距空空导弹和机载光电探测设备的发展而发展起来的。在空空导弹产生以前,受飞机的空战武器——火炮和火箭弹的有效射程与瞄 The so-called over-the-horizon air combat, refers to outside the visual range, through airborne detection equipment search found and intercept enemy targets in the air, and with medium and long-range air to air missile attack an air combat style, the attack distance of about 10 ~ 100 km above. And 10 km is precisely the use of artillery or close combat missiles for visual air combat ceiling, air combat within 10 km called line of sight or close combat air combat, the 10 to 100 km of air combat will be called Air combat in the distance, the 100-kilometer air combat will be called long-range air combat. Therefore, over-the-horizon air combat also includes mid-range air combat and long-range air combat. Over-the-horizon air combat, is with the development of long-range air-to-air missiles and on-board photoelectric detection equipment developed. Prior to the creation of air-to-air missiles, air-to-air weapons affected by aircraft - the effective range and aiming of artillery and rockets
