What must occur to achieve a mobility or firepower kill?

Achieving a mobility or firepower kill primarily relies on accurate targeting. This means that the weapon systems must be aimed with precision to strike vital components of enemy vehicles or artillery. For a mobility kill, hitting elements such as the tracks, wheels, or suspension disrupts the ability of a platform to relocate. In the case of a firepower kill, targeting critical weapon systems or ammunition stores can neutralize an enemy's combat effectiveness.

Other choices involve strategic methods that can support operations but do not directly lead to achieving the specific kills. For instance, distracting enemy communication or implementing distraction tactics may create confusion or provide opportunities but do not guarantee that the enemy's capabilities are neutralized. Effective execution of suppressive fire is also beneficial in limiting an enemy's operational capability but still requires that the targeting be accurate to ensure a hit on necessary target points. Accurate targeting is thus the foundational element ensuring that the intended tactical outcomes are achieved.
