Usage examples of "obliterates".
However, the evidence suggests that a massive B-52 strike that does not kill anyone or destroy anything is actually more powerful than a pinpoint attack that precisely obliterates a tank or bunker, because the terror of the former has a much greater impact on enemy morale than the impressiveness of the latter, and it is much easier and faster to eliminate a unit by causing its morale to break than by destroying all of its weaponry.
