Strategic Bombing Doctrine

Strategic Bombing Doctrine is a military strategy that emphasizes using large-scale aerial attacks to target an enemy’s infrastructure, resources, and overall war-sustaining capabilities rather than just battlefield troops. Its goal is to weaken the opponent's economy, morale, and ability to continue fighting, with the hope of forcing surrender or reducing the need for ground combat. This approach became prominent in World War II, where bombers targeted factories, transportation hubs, and cities to disrupt the enemy’s war effort. It’s a calculated effort to win by damaging the enemy's entire national support system from the air.
