If a strategic bombing campaign were waged against a major power today (NATO, Japan, Russia, China etc) would we see the same destruction of cities as we did in WW2 where destruction rates of 50% or higher were common and the death tolls could run as high as 100k?
This is of course assuming little to no AA to defend the cities in question.
How many bombers would an attack of this nature against a modern city require and what munitions would it need (FAE, HE, Bunker Busters, Cluster Bombs etc)?
