To attack by diving steeply from the air and releasing weapons or striking; a military tactic or attack executed this way.
From 'dive' (to descend quickly through air) + 'bomb' (an explosive device), popularized during World War II with aircraft like the German Stuka.
The Stuka dive-bomber became so infamous that its distinctive screaming siren (added to terrify enemies) is now one of history's most recognizable military sounds.
