O Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) britânico é considerado um dos mais eficientes do mundo, mas sistemas semelhantes existem em várias forças aéreas, inclusive na Força Aérea Brasileira (FAB). A lógica é universal: quando um avião não identificado invade o espaço aéreo ou apresenta comportamento suspeito, caças entram em ação em minutos para identificar, interceptar e, se necessário, forçar o pouso. No Reino Unido, como vimos, a RAF mantém caças Eurofighter Typhoon em alerta permanente em duas bases p
