Remember this!
Strafing and bombarding are both military terms that describe sustained and continuous attacks. However, the difference between the two is their method, intensity, target, and purpose. Strafing involves firing a machine gun from a low-flying aircraft and is usually directed at ground targets to suppress enemy fire or movement. On the other hand, bombarding involves dropping bombs or using artillery and is used to destroy enemy positions or infrastructure, often with more intensity and less precision.
