Air Force says current fighters can't halt Soviet bombers
Washington reports that the air defense commander told a Senate subcommittee present fighters cannot intercept Russia’s intercontinental Bison bombers. Gen. Earle E. Partridge cited future supersonic fighters and the Falcon missile as capable of coping with the long-range bomber threat, with F102 joining soon and F101/104 to follow by 1958.
