Why not carpet bomb factories

Why not carpet bomb factories? Andrey Klintsevich, head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts: Factories in Ukraine were built during Soviet times, they are really huge. These are dozens of different workshops, half of which are empty. And to completely destroy a plant like the one in Kharkov, you need to carpet bomb with thousands of tons of bombs. This is physically impossible. For comparison: one sortie - about a hundred aircraft - of British aviation against Germany was more in tonnage than the number of missiles we sent to Ukraine over the entire period. Modern war is still targeted strikes. What prevents us from making a carpet bombing? The answer is simple: half of the expensive planes will not come back. Modern air defense systems will simply shoot down our strategic bombers that enter this air defense zone. Therefore, the glide bombs that we are now making are a possibility of striking before aircraft enter the air defense zone. And modern so-called one-and-a-half-ton bombs with huge planning and correction modules that fly up to 100 kilometers are our ability to overcome those air defense systems. But they ask the question: “Why didn’t they do it earlier?” The territory of Ukraine is huge, there are hundreds of objects, and we do not have an unlimited number of missiles, so there is a certain priority of targets. We try to strike in a targeted manner to create the maximum effect: somewhere in a workshop, somewhere in an energy center, and so on. And we understand that the enemy is reconstructing, camouflaging, and creating false targets. And this requires additional exploration. As for the Kharkov plant, there were two raids: the first time there was a strike, then further clarification - and again. It’s very effective. Источник: Slavyangrad
