There’s an argument that MAYBE it did - with the Second World War, and the allies’ ability to completely destroy the means of production in Germany and Japan.

Aircraft factories, munitions factories, forges, steel refineries: all wiped out systematically to reduce the enemy’s ability to wage war.

But to your point… this is not those days.

German armaments production increased dramatically despite Allied bombing. If I'm not mistaken, the impact of bombing Germany is still hotly debated. The loss of alloy mines in the East was far more devastating, again if I'm not mistaken.
