Why are airplanes so important in modern warfare? After all, they do not carry a lot of weapons with them and can be an easy target for missiles
In: Other
they carry relatively little weapons but it does not take much to do a lot of damage. A strategically important bridge, a command post with high ranking officers,… can be taken out with a surprisingly small amount of ordinance.
Also, when you have air superiority you can basically attack anywhere at any time and the enemy has to adjust to that by for example only moving troops in the cover of darkness
