520 _aSince the end of the Cold War, air power has played a major role in the management of international crises. Thanks to its intrinsic characteristics, it has become a critical tool for politicians, allowing them to connect diplomacy and strategy.

This coercion mainly involves air power and has revived the debate on the decisiveness of air power that began in the 1920s.

Their similarities, especially the modalities of the use of air power, make this study relevant.
