Talk:Airstrike

Merge with bomb

I don't know who made the article, but it could use a lot of expanding. As for merging it, no. "Bombs" are frequeintly used in Airstrikes, and why anyone would merge them is beyond me. There are too many different listed uses and methods of airstrikes to merge it with anything. Colonel Marksman 20:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• No merge. I would have to concur with the above opinion. Kukini 05:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• No merge. Airstrike and Bombing are two different concepts.--Neo-Jay 03:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
• No merge. Two completely seperate tactics. JCPH 12:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is partially covered by both Aerial interdiction and Tactical bombing. But to keep the discussion centralised, please see Talk:Ground attack aircraft#Merge as there are a number of different overlapping articles to do with the use of aircraft in a tactical ground attack role. --Philip Baird Shearer 11:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

References

Aside from the two I just added, this article does not have any references. I suggest people begin retracing their steps to add the appropriate refs to what already exists and that all new edits should try to cite their source(s).

"On November 1, the first ever aerial bomb was dropped on Turkish troops in Libya."

A year would be very helpful here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.177.113 (talk) 01:09, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you need a source to make a claim like that. It is my belief that the date is somewhere around 1912-1913, but I do not know who, what, where or exactly when. We'll have to remove this if no one can find a reliable source.

Er... I would think the first ever aerial bomb would refer to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_bombing_of_cities#Italian-Turkish_War_of_1911-1912 The actual "bombing" took place in 1911.

Merge?

I think that it would be appropriate for this article to be merged with Close Air Support, and leave a disambiguation link for the other definitions of the word "Airstrike"(eg. Air Raid) Wiki flight simmer (talk) 14:23, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Wiki_flight_simmer

In my opinion, a merge would be useless and pointless. WinterSpw (talk) 00:05, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Airstrike vs. Air Strike

The page is titled "Airstrike", but refers the words "Air Strike" appear multiple times during the article. Which spelling should be used? FrigidNinja (talk) 19:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

"Collateral damage can be advantageous"

Am I being biased in thinking this is totally ridiculous? I wanted to remove it but I thought I would put the question here first. I suppose it can be 'advantageous' if you look at it from a sociopathic military perspective (not slamming military, I just believe ethic ought to have a part in military and this is counter to that), but that phrase seems outrageously spun to me.
