攻击机又称强击机,是使用战术武器从低空和超低空攻击地面(水面)中、小型目标的军用飞机。攻击机大量用于实践开始于二战前西班牙内战。现代攻击机的良好低空稳定性和操纵性,优异的下视能力,完善的通信、导弹、火控、报警和电子对抗设备,更使它成为现代战争中近距离空中支援火力的重要手段。 Attack aircraft, also known as assault plane, is a small-targeted military aircraft that uses tactical weapons to attack the ground (surface) from both low and ultra-low altitudes. A large number of attack aircraft used in practice began in the Spanish Civil War before World War II. The modern aircraft's excellent low-altitude stability and maneuverability, excellent down-looking capabilities, and improved communications, missiles, fire control, alarm and electronic countermeasures have also made it an important means of supporting near-air airborne firepower in modern warfare.
