shoot-and-scoot
Attack then flee
Shoot-and-scoot is a military tactic where artillery or other weapons fire quickly and relocate before the enemy can return fire: The battery used shoot-and-scoot tactics to avoid counter-battery radar.
The term extends to any hit-and-run approach—striking fast and withdrawing before consequences arrive.
