Russia fears U S more, says Wilson
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson told a House subcommittee that the Soviet leadership is more afraid of the United States than Americans are of them. He argued the Soviet military buildup is mainly defensive and that the United States is not highly vulnerable to an atomic attack. He refused to estimate how many enemy bombers could break through defenses, noting it depends on timing and warning. He contended Russian aircraft are not as capable as American planes.
