There are advantagesw of the precision weapons, one being that it offers confidence to a decision makers.  Warfare has changed since the 2nd World War and the world community do not approve of indiscriminate air attacks.  Increasing sophisticated precision weapons on the enemy side stimulated a lot of countermeasures.  Precision weapons have been known to dramatically transform military affairs by employing more proto-smart weapons against tergets.  Precision targetting have also enable to cripple routes in a short period of time.  Precision weapons can now destroy things accurately thus crippling the enemy's capability.  Precision weapons are a key characteristic of a modern military power.  It can constitute a powerful and significant argument for developmen of sophisticated attackers.
