The latter analysis techniques hide unjustified assumptions, and the results obtained from using them allow only a preliminary military potential to be determined. The military potential was understood in the article as squadron opportunities to carry out its assigned tasks successfully (effectively). The successful execution of the tasks assigned was conceived as the implementation of the necessary pre-conditions for the fight – quantitative and qualitative adequacy of fighting tools and manpower.
