Strategic bombing is an aerial bombing technique that targets key infrastructures and critical industrial or military installations with the aim of weakening an enemy's ability to continue a war. Some synonyms for strategic bombing include "precision bombing," "tactical air strikes," "air interdiction," "strategic air attacks," "supporting fires," and "air superiority operations." These terms are often used interchangeably depending on the context of their application. While strategic bombing played a crucial role in many major wars, it also had devastating civilian impacts, leading to the creation of humanitarian laws that prohibit targeting civilian populations and non-combatants.
