For the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare airstrike killstreak, see Airstrike.

The Precision Airstrike is a multiplayer killstreak reward in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

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 3

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.
