1. carpet bomb

   Carpet bomb refers to a large-scale bombing operation characterized by dropping many bombs over an area in a short amount of time, in order to cause massive destruction. The term is derived from the analogy of a carpet covering the entire area uniformly, just as the bombs would cover a wide area with devastation. Originally used during World War II, this heavy and indiscriminate bombing technique is generally avoided today due to its potential to cause extensive collateral damage and civilian casualties.
