McNamara Discusses U S and Soviet Aircraft Defenses
Secretary McNamara told senators that improved defense has made it very difficult for U S bombers to penetrate Soviet air defenses. He noted 693 heavy B 52s were in operation in February and could remain in use into 1970s. He downplayed a 100 megaton Soviet bomb knocking out Minuteman missiles, saying only a small number would be affected and EM flux would not render others ineffective. The testimony followed the Appropriations Committee approving a 46.8 billion defense bill.
