One significant joint airpower limitation underlies its susceptibility to the enemies' air defenses. Regarding air territory, an enemy domain can utilize highly complex surface-to-air radar networks and missile systems to espy and engage airplanes and thus adversely affecting the sustainability and effectiveness of such joint air operations. In order to facilitate mitigation of this limitation, COMAFFOR/JFACC would use stealth aircraft like B-2 and F-35s bombers, which have undetectable radar signatures and are thus hard for enemies to detect (Bhatti, 2022). Using such advanced aircraft technologies, the COMAFFOR/JFACC improves its capacity for joint airpower operations to destroy adversary defense systems and carry out missions with minimal risks of harm. Moreover, Bhatti (2022) asserts that integrating warfare capacities like jamming systems and anti-radiation missiles further facilitates the disruption of adversary air defense systems, thus promoting survival chances and joint air operation success.
Another limitation relates to increased dependence on logistics infrastructure ...
