You can encounter enemy convoys, planes and helicopters only after you cause enough chaos in a given region.

Attack convoys only when you are prepared for combat. The best way is to use a vehicle equipped with weapons (e.g. The Widowmaker truck) or by placing explosives on a convoy's route.

Use a machine gun or a turret to shoot down planes and helicopters. You can also set Nick Rye as your specialist - he can fight with enemy machines in the air. Don't ignore enemy planes because they can drop bombs that can kill your character pretty fast.

You won't always receive rewards for destroying convoys or planes/helicopters. However, they can be a part of certain missions - this is when you can get money and/or resistance points.
