Strafing is the military practice of attacking ground targets from low-flying aircraft using aircraft-mounted automatic weapons.[1] Less commonly, the term is used by extension to describe high-speed firing runs by any land or naval craft such as fast boats, using smaller-caliber weapons and targeting stationary or slowly-moving targets.[citation needed]
