A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets, by dropping bombs on them, or in recent years by launching cruise missiles at them.
Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range bombing missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, shipyards, and cities themselves, in order to damage an enemy’s war effort. Current examples include the nuclear-armed: B-2 Spirit, B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95 ‘Bear’, Tupolev Tu-22M ‘Backfire’; historically notable examples are the: Gotha G, Avro Lancaster, Heinkel He-111, Junkers Ju 88, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-29 Superfortress, and Tupolev Tu-16 ‘Badger’.
Tactical bombing, aimed at enemy’s military units and installations, is typically assigned to smaller aircraft operating at shorter ranges, typically along the troops on the ground or sea. This role is filled by various aircraft classes, as different as light bombers, medium bombers, dive bombers, fighter-bombers, ground-attack aircraft, multirole combat aircraft, along others. Current examples: F-15E Strike Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet, Sukhoi Su-34 ‘Fullback’, Chengdu J-10, Xian JH-7, Dassault-Breguet Mirage 2000, and the Panavia Tornado; historical examples: Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik, Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, P-47 Thunderbolt, Hawker Typhoon, and F-4 Phantom II.
A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat with other aircraft, as opposed to a bomber, which is designed primarily to attack ground targets by dropping bombs. The hallmarks of a fighter are its small size, speed and maneuverability.
Many fighters have secondary ground-attack capabilities, and some are dual-roled as fighter-bombers. Consequently, the term “fighter” is sometimes extended colloquially to include dedicated ground-attack aircraft.
Fighters are the primary means by which armed forces gain air superiority over their opponents in battle. Since at least World War II, achieving and maintaining this air superiority has been a key component of victory in warfare, particularly conventional warfare (as opposed to guerrilla warfare). The purchase, training and maintenance of a fighter fleet therefore consumes a substantial proportion of the defense budgets of modern armed forces.
Clearly, this is one of the best apps we’ve ever seen… not a game but an incredible HD experience for all of us military aviation fans.
Featuring incredible audio and authentic photos of real Bombers and Jets in combat beyond the call of duty, this app signifies one of the greatest achievements in development history. Never have we seen this kind of quality on the iPad and the developers are to be commended for their unflinching devotion to detail, and the uncompromising way they have portrayed the horrors of war and the devilish machines used to reduce humanity to burning cinders of charred flesh.
Download it now and revel in the TERROR… the HORRORS… THE EVIL… of complete and total madness of AIR WAR!!!!
