Pentagon says Soviet air defenses vulnerable to cruise missile
Washington briefings by Pentagon officials argue that the Soviet air defense system, valued at about $100 billion, would require a multibillion-dollar effort to counter the U.S. cruise missile. Experts said even a 50 billion dollar crash program over five to ten years would leave Moscow behind as U.S. tech upgrades push the drone past radar. They warned of possible Soviet responses such as deploying hundreds of new missiles or purchasing fighters like the F-14, while noting U.S. improvements could offset opposition.
