It is important to keep in mind that there are two primary categories of bombers: strategic and tactical. Heavy bombers that are primarily built for long-range bombing operations against key targets are used to carry out strategic bombing. The goal of strategic bombing is to reduce the enemy's ability to conduct war by limiting access to resources by destroying infrastructure or diminishing industrial output. The purpose of tactical bombing is to counteract the military action of the enemy and to provide assistance for offensive operations. This type of bombing is often assigned to smaller aircraft that operate at shorter ranges, typically in close proximity to the troops on the ground or while attacking enemy vessels.
