Passionate about shooting games? Want to challenge yourself? Then take note of Air Defense — an action airplane shooter game. Test yourself as a sniper tankman, pick a target in the sky, and open fire. Air Defense is a thrilling shooter with modern graphics and quality effects. You'll be fully immersed in the air combat atmosphere. If you spent hours playing soldiers, guns, shooters, tanks, and other war games as a child, you'll probably love our shooter about planes and tanks. The tank division retreated, and the area was left undefended. The enemy command took advantage of this by sending a fighter battalion into the territory. Coincidentally, there was a single tank, the only hope. Take command of the tank yourself. Bravely hold the defense. Aim and shoot without missing. Hit the targets one after another. Try to hold your position before you run out of shells. The sky is teeming with aircraft: dozens of sky warriors fly back and forth across the airspace. Fighter jets, drones, dive bombers, and helicopters are heading straight for one target: your tank. Every military aircraft has a special feature. Some planes evade strikes by a smooth decline in altitude while others sharply change their speed. Such a variety of opponents won't let you get bored during the whole game. The enemy has a numerical superiority, but you have a powerful weapon — the tank gun. Complete levels and improve your tank: adjust the muzzle to shoot better, change the steel turret to increase the force, add more shells, and make your armor even better to protect. You can now single-handedly fight several opponents at once. Complete missions, shoot down military planes and helicopters, and unlock new locations with each level: picturesque scenery of the mountain streams, majestic dunes, pyramids in the vast desert, and even old columns — the echo of an ancient civilization. All this with realistic sounds is waiting for you! Planes are already maneuvering in the sky, and the dogfight is in full swing. Bravely stand your ground until the military base supports you. The combat for the sky has just begun!
