Aerial Bombardment

Aerial bombardment refers to the military strategy of attacking targets from aircraft by dropping bombs. This technique has been used in wars to destroy enemy infrastructure, military installations, and troops from the air. It can involve various types of bombs and missiles, and can be conducted by both fixed-wing planes and helicopters. Aerial bombardment aims to weaken the enemy’s capabilities while minimizing ground-level risk to personnel. However, it raises significant ethical concerns, especially regarding civilian casualties and damage to non-military infrastructure. Its effectiveness and moral implications have been widely debated throughout military history.
