WHAT DOES SATURATION BOMBING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

saturation bombing

Carpet bombing

Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large aerial bombing done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land. The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor. Carpet bombing is usually achieved by dropping many unguided bombs. In contrast to precision bombing, it is not aimed at a small target such as a bunker, an airfield, or a military unit. One of its uses is the aerial bombing of cities. The term obliteration bombing is sometimes used to describe especially intensified bombing with the intention of destroying a city or a large part of the city. The term area bombing refers to indiscriminate bombing of an area, and also encompasses cases of carpet bombing, including obliteration bombing. It was used in that sense especially during World War II.

Definition of saturation bombing in the English dictionary

The definition of saturation bombing in the dictionary is extensive bombing of targets to the maximum possible intensity.
