Carpet Bombing

Carpet bombing is a military tactic involving the extensive and indiscriminate dropping of large quantities of bombs over a wide area, aiming to destroy everything within that zone. It is used to target large enemy concentrations, infrastructure, or to demoralize opposing forces. While effective in some situations, it often causes extensive civilian casualties and damage to the environment, raising ethical and humanitarian concerns. The approach prioritizes overwhelming force over precision, making it controversial and generally avoided in modern warfare where precision-guided weapons are preferred.
