Examples of sorties in a Sentence

  1. Joseph Cirincione:

    People talk very cavalierly about these strikes. It's really appalling to me that this kind of discussion goes on, this is not a pinprick attack. This would be weeks of hundreds of U.S. sorties. This would be the beginning of a major war in the Middle East that would make the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq look like warm-up acts, and it would have regional consequences.

  2. Justin Bronk:

  3. Vladimir Putin:

    Over the last few years and particularly this year and last year, with the start of the Ukraine crisis, Russia has picked up the number of sorties, his view is that Russia's political standing and the respect accorded to it have fallen away very much since the end of the Cold War.
