The Bomarc hard site was useless as it would have been taken out by an
ICBM or cruise type missile long before they got one off the ground.


Hmmm, isn't the idea to launch the interceptor missile BEFORE the bombers
reach their targets? What Soviet ICBMs and cruise missiles had the accuracy
to destroy hard targets when Bomarc enterd service?
