abstract:Precision bombing refers to the attempted aerial bombing of a target with some degree of accuracy, with the aim of limiting collateral damage. An example would be destroying a single building in a built up area causing minimal damage to the surroundings.
However, many US supporters of air power have called for precisionbombing which would not be aimed directly against civilians but only military and industrial targets.
The MoD can still offer certain niche capabilities that foreign allies - principally the US - still value, but these can be counted on the fingers of one hand, including special forces, precisionbombing, and minesweepers.
