Air defense by air forces is typically taken care of by fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles. Most air forces choose to augment airbase defense with surface-to-air missile systems as they are such valuable targets and subject to attack by enemy aircraft. The Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum has a small armament collection, consisting of bombs, rockets, missiles and torpedos, many of which are on display. Due to web space, only some of collection can be viewed here.
