AFAIS this is simply tossing unguided missiles in the direction of the enemy*, which isn't likely to have great success,
Look up "fire and forget" technology for air-to-surface missiles (a.k.a "smart weapons"). Missiles that can steer themselves with fins, and track in on specific targets (e.g. a single tank or building - and on occasion, a specific balcony!) by various means including sensors/cameras in the nose (radar and IR emissions from the targets themselves, but also video images kept in the missile's cross hairs, or even, these days, GPS guidance).
See: AGM-130A, Hellfire (AGM-114), HARM (AGM-88, etc.) missiles.
Thanks to massive developments in computing speed and size, and GPS technology, over the past decades. And a desire to avoid blowing up entire villages/cities to get one terrorist leader (see death of Al-Qa'ida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri (Kabul, July 2022)).
