• Gulf War [r]: The conflict started by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and ended with the liberation of Kuwait and major damage to Iraqi forces, by a US-led UN coalition in 1991. [e]
• Hit-to-kill [r]: The infliction of damage by a weapon, which does not depend on other than mechanical energy transfer. At the low end, it can be as simple as a bullet hitting a nonmoving target, and at the high end, it can include the immense energies of a collision between an incoming ballistic missile and an intercept vehicle. It is a subset of kinetic kill, which includes explosives and other physically destructive "hard kill" mechanisms. [e]

• Iran-Iraq War [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Luftwaffe [r]: The German Air Force, both the current and WWII organization; the current usage includes the forces after German unification [e]
• MIM-104 Patriot [r]: Missile originally developed for medium-to-high altitude aircraft interception (SAM) use, which, while retaining that capability, is now optimized as an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) for relatively small but critical areas. The SAM versions have explosive warheads but the ABM is hit-to-kill. [e]
• Measurement and signature intelligence [r]: A variety of intelligence gathering disciplines complementary to the technical "mainstream" of imagery intelligence and signals intelligence. [e]
• Missile defense [r]: When a "missile" is considered anything projected, with hostile intent, against a target, the defense problem is far greater than ballistic missile defense, including defense against cruise missiles and counter-rocket, artillery and mortar systems; integrated air defense systems become very complex when facing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and guided missiles [e]
• North American Air Defense Command [r]: The joint Canada-U.S. military organization responsible for aerospace threat warning and defense for North America [e]
• Offensive counter-air [r]: Air operations intended to damage or destroy enemy aircraft and missile capabilities, both by attacking ground facilities and engaging aircraft close to their bases [e]

• Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
• Ryan Firebee [r]: A family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), still in production over 50 years after the first, with applications in reconnaissance, missile and fighter training, attack, electronic warfare and testing integrated air defense systems [e]
• S-200 (missile) [r]: Soviet long-range surface-to-air missile optimized against high-altitude, high-speed targets; long minimum range. Do not confuse its designation, SA-5 GAMMON, with the SA-5 GRIFFON, which was the V-1000 anti-ballistic missile [e]
• Soviet support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War [r]: Soviet technical assistance and sales of military and dual-use equipment, beginning in approximately 1975, to Iraq, and continuing through the Iran-Iraq War; the Soviet Union and France were the leading military suppliers to Iraq [e]

• World War II, air war, European Theater strategic operations [r]: Strategic bombing and offensive counter-air in the European theater of WWII, both initiated by the Axis and the Allies [e]
• World War II, air war, Mediterranean and European tactical operations [r]: Following the cancellation of the invasion of Britain, while harassment continued of the British Isles and the Eastern Front, the Germans searched for new opportunities in 1940-1941, finding them in Southern Europe, met, in part, by the invasion of North Africa in 1942, which led to the Italian campaign.
