attack aircraft
Tactical bombing plane
Attack aircraft are military planes designed primarily for striking ground or naval targets rather than engaging other aircraft.
They typically fly at lower altitudes than bombers and carry weapons like missiles, bombs, and cannons for close air support of ground troops or precision strikes on enemy positions: The A-10 Warthog is the iconic American attack aircraft.
