How layered air defense disrupts a pilot's final attack

A ship combines movement with fighters and successive layers of anti-aircraft fire. Fighters first split the formation, heavy guns make close grouping dangerous, and medium and light weapons confront the aircraft that continue. A bomber may then face the final approach alone while its target turns and fires. The argument emphasizes distraction, lost coordination, and premature release as well as aircraft destroyed. The decisive period is the last part of the approach, when the pilot must identify the target, aim, and release under pressure. This explains why a defensive system can prevent hits without shooting down every attacker.
