Aerospace = Air and space edit

I'm re-applying an edit previously reverted by @Garuda28 with a more detailed explanation here, concerning the following text:

Although it is officially translated as aerospace in English, it covers both attacks from the air and from (outer) space, and some Russian writers translate it as "air and space" instead.

The middle part of this sentence does not make sense linguistically nor does it add any substantive information to the article. Like I mentioned in the edit summary, 'aerospace' already means 'air and space'; both in Russian and in every variety of English. The text even points to the Aerospace article which exactly states as such. There is also no chance of confusion here which would require defining the term: 'aerospace' is a very common term used by military, civilian-public, and industrial organisations related to aerospace, as exemplified by its own article. Added together, this sentence implies that 'aerospace' has a different meaning or that the Russian meaning of the word differs from the English meaning, neither of which is true nor explained and may simply be the result of the original writer not being familiar with the term. Simply put, there was no 'although' since aerospace and 'air and space' are synonymous, thus the sentence incorrectly implied a contradiction. As the name is alternatively translated into English as 'Air and Space' however, I do think it is useful to keep the latter part of the sentence intact, which is what I have done.
