>strike their targets so precisely without risking hitting any civilian infrastructure
The ones that are are generally what are referred to as “smart bombs” or “guided bombs”. Basically these bombs have various forms of guidance built into them to strike a particular point. GPS guided weapons and laser guided weapons are the two most common methods in more traditional bombs/munitions.
“dumb bombs” such as those used in WWII have various methods to attempt to hit their targets by dropping them at just the right moment, but are crazy inaccurate in comparison to a guided bomb and collateral damage, often a lot, was expected.
