ground strike
Earth-aimed military attack
A ground strike is a military attack delivered from the air against targets on the surface—troops, vehicles, buildings, or installations.
The term emphasizes the direction of attack: aircraft or missiles striking downward at land-based objectives.
Coalition forces launched ground strikes against enemy positions.
In gaming contexts, a ground strike may refer to any attack directed at the ground or at grounded opponents.
