The Precision Airstrike allows the player to call in three F-15E Strike Eagles if playing as Task Force 141, Rangers, Navy SEALs, or MiG-29's if playing as the OpFor, Militia or Spetsnaz on a bombing run at the location of their choice. Unlike the Airstrike in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the player also gets to choose which direction the jets come from. Bombs dropped by Precision Airstrike are effective at taking out groups of players, especially near spawn points. It is also extremely effective to have a UAV in the air, as the player can locate large clusters of enemies in their strike on their own control point to kill attackers. Inversely, players can also call one in on the enemy CP to soften defenses for a quick Shock and Awe style capture. This same strategy can be used when playing Demolition for protecting or softening up bomb sites that are outdoors.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Edit

Strike Package Reward
Points	6

Precision Airstrike is a 6 point Strike Chain reward, which is part of the Assault Strike Chain in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It works like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Precision Airstrike. The minimap will appear enlarged, rather than a thermal indicator when in use. This is NOT like a Stealth Airstrike. It will not trail a numerous number of bombs behind. Rather, the circle indicator shows where the strike will hit. The directional indicator is only to allow the player to escape SAM turrets and Trophy Systems in a known vicinity. The same spot will be hit multiple times, and the bombs will spread just slightly. Effective against Juggernaut.

Trivia Edit

• The Precision Airstrike has a smaller damage area than its counterpart in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
• Unlike most killstreaks, an enemy Precision Airstrike will not be announced to the player. Except in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
• A player can complete the Afterburner challenge if one calls in two airstrikes in one match.
• The Precision Airstrike in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 can actually be destroyed if an enemy player uses an EMP.
• Although it is very effective in hardcore modes, the Precision Airstrike should be used with a UAV or Advanced UAV to find where clusters of enemies are, because it kills teammates as well.
