Air attack on defenseless transports?

[emerson303]

Can a fighter or bomber attack a defenseless transport and essentially kill it just by flying into the SZ?

Thanks,

Yes. It has to be in the combat move phase. Technically a battle takes place but no dice are rolled, as the Transport has no defense value.
