Indirect Fire

Indirect fire is a military term for launching projectiles, like artillery shells or missiles, without the soldier or operator seeing the target directly. Instead, they rely on maps, calculations, and communication from observers or forward teams to aim accurately. This method allows forces to hit targets behind cover, obstacles, or over long distances, minimizing personal risk. It’s a strategic way of engaging enemies from a distance, often used in coordinated attacks or defensive maneuvers to influence areas not directly visible to the shooter.
