Militaries around the world made good use of their fleets

this year in response to the coronavirus pandemic, while
also meeting more regular commitments. Our annual
snapshot looks at the in-service picture
CRAIG HOYLE LONDON
M
ilitary personnel are trained to always
expect the unexpected, but even the
sharpest-minded defence planners
could not have foreseen the swift pace and
staggering impact of the coronavirus pandem-
ic during 2020.
Rather than having normal day-to-day activi-
ties or combat commitments at the front of
their minds, the world’s air forces, armies
and navies had to rapidly react and adapt to
the health crisis as it swiftly swept the globe
after emerging in China’s Wuhan province.
Ordinarily tasked with transporting person-
nel and equipment in support of military op-
erations, strategic and tactical transport
aircraft were re-assigned to more critical sup-
ply flights, delivering personal protective
equipment, medicines and ventilators from
locations including China and Turkey. ❯❯
