You couldn't do airstrikes like these in 2001, because of lack of intel capabilities, stuff like message app metadata analysis and AI analysis of satellite imagery, fighter jets with sensors fusion and crazy networking, etc etc. The tech got much better, computers got way faster, we now have insta-"moving" AESA radars in everything, crazy fighter jet helmets that let you "see" through the cockpit and target stuff with your eyes...Electronic warfare got much better, with super smart jamming and interference as well as scanning-eavesdropping-locating... There is so much new tech that only military nerds can truly appreciate because your average normie has no prerequisite basic technical knowledge to even understand the difference.
Sure back in the day you could've just dropped bombs on everything that moves, but that's expensive and bad optics. Today you can see the SUPREME LEADER(tm) through the wall as he's whipping his cock out for his morning piss.
