The ever increasing power and precision of modern artillery in recent years have attracted a great deal of attention to night attacks. It’s obvious that the advances in science and weapons technology makes it desirable to deliver attacks under the cover of darkness.
Modern war is mostly air raids, missile attacks and bombings that can be carried out even at night. Using sophisticated and cutting-edge, missile guidance systems and other state-of-the-art technology one can strike the enemy at precise targets causing maximum damage while incurring minimum loss to self. Night attacks also have an adverse psychological effect on the enemy.
Although there can be no justification for war, the following image gallery captures the fascinating beauty (if I may be allowed to use the word in this context) of war.
