Syöksypommituslentokone
Syöksypommitus, a Finnish term, translates to dive bombing in English. It is an aerial bombing attack technique where an aircraft dives towards a target at a steep angle. The pilot aims to release their ordnance from a relatively low altitude to increase accuracy. This method was particularly effective against concentrated targets like ships, bridges, and fortified positions, as the steep dive minimized the time the aircraft was exposed to enemy fire and allowed for precise aiming.
The effectiveness of syöksypommitus relies on the pilot's skill in maintaining control during the high-G maneuver
