Airmen bombed a country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armenia

'country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'airmen bombed a' is the wordplay.
'bombed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'airmen' with letters rearranged gives 'armeni'.
'armeni'+'a'='ARMENIA'

(Other definitions for armenia that I've seen before include "South-west Asian country, capital Yerevan" , "Landlocked country, an Asian soviet before 1991, capital Yerevan" , "Caucasian republic" , "Landlocked country south of Georgia" , "Republic formerly in the USSR" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
