Our air force's most favorite strategy is called Low Altitude Encircle Bombardment (LAEB), it's basically make a fire circle with napalm around the target and mercilessly bombard everything that's inside the circle.

We don't have any updated weapons and vehicles, most of our vehicles are just WW2 tanks upgraded and our airforce only has B-59's,B-57's and upgraded Mustangs and Huey's given to us by the American army after the Vietnam war.

Heck we even got Cuban bulletproof vest when we participated in the Cuban war but we don't use it and our terrorist are buying guns(no seriously, check the Global and economics)

Traditionally, once Paunite nomads reached the age of 21, they would be sent out on the family's most disobedient mount, given supplies and sent off to fight for survival for 7 years and thirty nights. The idea of this was to strengthen the bonds between horsemen and rider so that through hardships in the mortal realm their spirits can ride on forever after death.

Our military officials would laugh at that, but would nonetheless pay good money to see such a spectacle.

We have long ceased usage of ICBM's due to their horrible obsoleteness, especially at our tech levels.

If we really wanted to cause such destruction, we'd just hurl an asteroid or something at it instead.
