What is another word for precision bombing?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪsˈɪʒən bˈɒmɪŋ] (IPA) 
Precision bombing is a term used to describe highly accurate strikes against specific targets. There are several synonyms for precision bombing like surgical bombing, targeted bombing or pinpoint bombing. The goal of precision bombing is to minimize damage to surrounding structures and civilians, while effectively neutralizing the target. It is vastly different from area bombing which is used to destroy entire cities or regions, without precise targeting. However, precision bombing is not flawless, and civilian casualties can still occur. The advancement in technology and accuracy of weapons has made precision bombing a preferred method of strike by many modern military forces, making it an essential component of modern warfare.
