Given that the soviet planners had thought all this through, in my mind it
is unlikely that a single bomber would have gotten through... The soviets had rings of interceptor squadrons, numbering in the thousands - cheap, short range, totally expendable, fast climbing jet fighters... Each bomber would have been like a sparrow flying into one cloud of hornets after another... That is why ICBM's are the weapon of deterrence, not bombers... Denny "Dan Luke" wrote in message ...
