The Dassault Rafale 1

Precision weapon delivery has come into the general public's mind especially in the past two decades. Precision in aerial warfare, which initially lay in the individual skills of combatants, has shifted to machines through the incorporation of advanced technology.

Furthermore, the author assesses the future trends for the development of even more effective precision weapons in aerial warfare.
