Getting back to the original scenario that spurred this question, your best bet for taking out Syrian artillery is Israeli artillery.
What's your Strategy?

The wide variety of modern munitions, and their arcane names, makes it difficult to determine what to use for best effects. I'd love to see something like:
Air-to-Ground munition, unguided, primarily effective against troops in the open or unarmored vehicles. Best used at 300 knots (or less) and 1,000 feet altitude, or lower.
Or...
Air-to-Ground munition, guided by TV (visible wavelengths) from the releasing aircraft. Best against light to heavily armored targets Created to keep the aircraft beyond AAA fire. Best used at 300-600 knots, 10,000 to 40,000 feet, not more than 10 nautical mile range. Evasive maneuvering by the guiding aircraft may break guidance.

Plus 1
at the very least "best against"; in the database pretty much every bomb works against building (soft), building (hard), mobile vehicles, mobile personnel, etc. knowing that the best use of bomb X is soft vehicles or that the chances of bomb "Y" damaging a bunker are low can really help
