Air-to-ground strike

An air-to-ground strike is a military action where aircraft, such as fighter jets or bombers, intentionally attack targets on the ground. These targets can include enemy infrastructure, vehicles, or personnel. The aircraft approach from the air with precision-guided weapons or bombs designed to accurately hit specific locations. This method allows forces to neutralize threats or achieve strategic objectives without ground troops having to engage directly. Air-to-ground strikes are a key component of modern warfare, enabling rapid, targeted action across the battlefield while minimizing risk to aircraft and personnel.
