Modern AA and air weapons stop that. Plus most militaries don't have things all clumped together in one space to warrant a bomber fleet as they keep things spread out and in a lot of cases, always moving.

Bad strategy. A better strategy would be for the bombers to approach from random directions, at treetop altitude and pop-up seconds before dropping their loads. Then descend again to tree-top altitudes and random exit routes. Fighters would best serve as decoys, to confuse the defenders. Modern wars aren't about who can kill the most, but who can overwhelm the other with strategies that are impossible to defend against.

@Heartlander Reagan did something like that in Libya. I think they used F-111's that flew super
low across the Mediterranean to avoid radar.

@DogMan I think that's also the strategy with the old "oil burner" routes where B52s fly mixed high-low routes where no one could keep track them.

I don't think The Corrupt In the U.S. care less about winning. There is a different interest for war when it comes to the war mongers in power.

They rather keep the war going on and on. They can use their leftover toys Bush and Obama use to play in the Middle East. They'll invite Isis over to play along.


The Mainstream Media can play in the other side making up their stage of battles with their little Hollywood Moments.


We we're never in a real war ever since this so called War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pick on the little guys/Dictators and create their own Corporate U.S. version.


Unfortunately for the U.S. now days. The Middle Eastern countries considering ditching the U.S. Dollar. Good Job Joey

Maybe because Warfare is fought with more laser-guided missiles. No need for "Carpet Blanket Bombing" anymore when you can be precise with your targeting.

@calicuz Which just goes to show what an ancient moron Joe Biden is, because a while back he threatened to carpet bomb the entire state of Kentucky. (They probably have MAGA domestic terrorists there, or something...). 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe some kindergartners who got online on their mother's cell phone...🤣🤣🤣

Didn't we bomb the radar sites before the Persian Gulf war? I know the F-117's went in to
neutralize targets, along with a lot of others. But I don't think they used any
conventional bombs,
@DogMan less well documented is how much of the Iraqi air defenses had been backdoored and neutralized over network before we flew craft in. There's a pretty high reluctance to risk pilot and crews going against most fortified AA compared to throwing a few cruise missiles.

SAMs do a number on bombers and fighters. Far better to use missiles.
