Precision guided munitions?

Modern artillary can hit a dime from a distance of 20 miles, with no wear and tear on expensive aircraft. In fact, I would think there would be less chance for error, as often targets can be "forward observed" well in advance of a strike.

Also, artillary has other benefits. For example, a barrage can be entered into the control system that will obliterate a designated area.
