"Anti-Aircraft Defenses Are Expanded by Hanoi", 1966
The article reports that North Vietnam installed thousands of new anti-aircraft weapons around Hanoi and Haiphong during a pause in U.S. bombing, making it much harder for American planes to strike. U.S. officials explained that attacking these North Vietnamese cities could cause heavy civilian casualties, while also revealing that the Soviet Union and China were shipping large quantities of military supplies to North Vietnam.
