And that was only eight Vulcans and civil air traffic was grounded.Not very impressive for NORAD.Back in 1962 this all was imagine how much harder it would be even then when you would have the skies full of normal flights.

And today.

Honestly the whole "we will get must of them" thing be it back in the day bombers or modern ICBMs they say that to keep the flock unafraid.

At any rate back in the day the US would have "won" simply because we had a lot more ICBMs than Ivan did of course if Ivan could pull off a preemptive strike they could in that case have killed enough of our command and control,Silos,subs,and airbases to make us unable to strike back and destroy all of their assets.In the early 1980's the Soviet inner circle was very mindful of this.What I find funny is in the late 70's and early 80's there was a missile gap in NATO favor with cruise missiles (IRBMS and SRAMS) and today the gap is well in the Russkies favor.They are thinking long term me thinks, kill a component of the BMD especially the sites in Poland even via an airstrike using continental weapons and the BDM only deals with IRBMs not ICBMs.
