"Eunometic" wrote in message om... What seems to give the B52 a great deal of protection is that it can fly so very high. Only the largest of SAMS can reach that height. IE SA6/Hawke missiles are not up to it. It needs a S300/S400 class missile. Eh? I-hawk has a ceiling of some 58K feet--do you really see the BUFF operating higher than that? Brooks

Brooks No, but you could see a Victor or a Vulcan - apparently they could cruise at 65k feet, or the EU could get Concorde at the same altitude - if they got them back from museums! David
