Armies win battles. Logistics win wars. If you want to interrupt your enemy’s logistics network, you need to be able to strike deep within their territory. The fastest way to do that is with airstrikes or long range missiles. Aircraft can deliver massive amounts of precision ordnance quickly. Enemy missiles are a threat, but with proper suppression of enemy air defense, that problem can be negated.
