"Sky Over North Vietnam" by George C. Wilson, The Washington Post, December 22, 1972
This article explains the dangerous battles between U.S. B-52 bombers and Soviet-made missiles fired by North Vietnam during the war. The B-52s, originally designed for Cold War nuclear missions, faced constant threats from SA-2 Guideline missiles and improved radar systems.The U.S. used new technologies like electronic countermeasures and drones to confuse enemy radar, but the missions still remained very risky for American B-52 crews.
