- 3Both can cause significant damage to ground targets.
- 4Both require the use of aircraft.
- 5Both can be used to support ground troops.
What is the difference?
- 1Method: Strafing involves firing machine guns from a low-flying aircraft, while bombing involves dropping explosive devices from an aircraft.
- 2Scale: Strafing is typically a smaller-scale attack on a specific target, while bombing can be a larger-scale attack on an area or multiple targets.
- 3Damage: Strafing can cause damage to specific targets and individuals, while bombing can cause widespread destruction and casualties.
- 4Precision: Strafing requires more precision and accuracy than bombing, which can be more indiscriminate.
- 5Purpose: Strafing is often used to suppress enemy ground fire or attack specific targets, while bombing can be used for strategic purposes such as destroying infrastructure or demoralizing the enemy.
Remember this!
Strafing and bombing are both military tactics used in warfare to attack ground targets from the air. However, the difference between strafing and bombing is their method, scale, damage, precision, and purpose. Strafing involves firing machine guns from a low-flying aircraft at specific targets, while bombing involves dropping explosive devices from an aircraft to cause widespread destruction or achieve strategic objectives.
