The article, based on the primary analysis, revealed high cost and low efficiency and contradictions in the functioning of the anti-aircraft, especially anti-missile defence of Ukraine during hostilities. It is suggested to clarify the terminological apparatus in this specific sphere of defence activity of society. The problem is considered both in the global and international, as well as regional, branch military conditions of the functioning of the voluntary association of territorial communities of Ukraine, territorial defence, etc. It is noted that air defence is carried out by air defence troops of land units and fighter aircraft in cooperation with air defence troops of the country, and in the case of hostilities in the area of the sea coast - with air defence units of the navy. It is established that most Western and European Commonwealth armed combine air defence exclusively with conventional forces (i.e., army, navy and air force), as a separate wing, or as part of the artillery. It is assumed that from a practical point of view, Ukraine may need ground air defence more than aviation. In the paper the interrelationships of the development of the air defence system within the framework of the development of the European Commonwealth in the interstate context are revealed. On this basis, the trends of this process are established and offered to use of modern economic European approaches to the organization of antimissile defence on the latest economic and environmental principles and the implementation of reforms in Ukraine in accordance with the modern requirements of European standards. The progressive experience of anti-aircraft protection of the population, the peculiarities of the operation of the "Iron Dome" and the issues of defence of the state maritime zone, for which the "M-dome" is used, are described. The economic characteristics of air defence with the use of anti-missile installations are given. It was emphasized that, like any other weapon, "Iron Dome" should not be considered as a separate unit, because all military equipment and weapons work in a single system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The problems of organization of natural resources management on a global scale are revealed in the article. It is established that in a billion years the atmosphere of our planet will undergo drastic changes and lose all its oxygen, rejecting life to the oldest anaerobic forms. The modelling has shown that the drop in oxygen content can be extremely sharp, to a level millions of times less than the current. The causes of fires and other natural disasters in the planetary dimension have been identified. There were considered the means of counteracting global fires. Their catastrophic consequences and possible consequent development from this -- oxygen problems -- have been predicted. The causes of this phenomenon have been identified, including the irresponsible attitude of the competent regional, interstate and state institutions to these problems, and their primary classification has been made. The place and role of state and international governing bodies in these processes are determined. The organization of preventive measures in this area on the basis of effective use of management and its humanitarian tools is offered. In the paper were named the imperfections in the actions of state regulatory authorities and the reasons for the science passivity. The views of well-known scientists and people who impartially assess the situation are highlighted. The study confirmed that, regardless of the source, natural disasters are characterized by significant scale and duration. Some of them pose a threat to humanity on a global scale. Due to these circumstances, there is an urgent need to study the prerequisites for improving the rationality and efficiency of global nature management by creating intergovernmental structures in this area. There have been substantiated the necessity of formation of interstate administrative structures, which would promote rational resource use and healthy natural reproduction of all life-supporting components, incl. oxygen and life-giving air.
