Well said, KenV. I was about to make a similar illustration.
For the non-mil aviation people that suddenly seem to have pitched up here itching to sling some mud at mil aircrew and the rest of the mil chain, here's a couple of questions for you.
Where is N34°32'38.0256'' E69° 9' 38.3472'' in this cockpit view?
How many other significant locations are also notified?
How long do you have before you miss the opportunity to attack your designated target?
How many friendly forces will die if you do not commit to the target you have been directed to by ground forces? - hence the importance of Lonewolf's distinction between an air strike and CAS.
Repeated, ill-informed references to the Geneva Convention are not only incorrect, they demonstrate a desperation to seek out any old reason to start shouting "war criminals". We don't even know what actually happened yet.
