contents The Tupolev Interception: Lessons from Doctrine and Strategy Rodrigo Mezú Mina Educación Tupolev Strategy Military Capabilities Asymmetrical Disadvantage On November 1, 2013, two Russian Tupolev airplanes, including the world’s fastest nuclear bomber, entered Colombia’s national air space with no previous authorization. The interception process and the decisions made on a strategic level have left us, following Colin S. Gray’s theory, with some issues to reflect and some lessons that we must learn for Colombia to evolve in its decision-making process, and also for us to remember the importance of strategy in the use of air power. Specifically, the lessons derived from this experience allow Colombia to reflect on how to approach a situation of asymmetrical disadvantage when facing its enemies. It also forces us to recognize that military decisions are not the only deciding factors of strategy; instead, political will, the nation’s commitment and awareness of the country’s defense also have a role to play. 2019 artículo científico 1909-7050 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=673571183004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6735 Ciencia y Poder Aéreo application/pdf Escuela de Posgrados de la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana Ciencia y Poder Aéreo (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.14
