early Russian plastic Bison jet bomber model

[CINDERS]

Nice model RCS so good of you to share the model a good discovery with the book as well.

I know here I go again but from my bedraggled brain ~ I forget the type of soviet aircraft think it was a Flanker or Flogger anyway an early Russian fighter that somehow the west got hold of the investigate.
They were appalled to see among the electrics that it still had valves in there how backward they thought that was.
That was until they sat down and really digested what it meant the valve is so much stronger than a circuit board in the event the enemy uses an EMP the fact that ones aircraft without that type of electrical equipment would be grounded in an EMP burst.

So the Soviet fighters would be airborne and be able to survive an EMP and if you think a nuke in space does not affect ground based assets then when the USA detonated one in space it did a real good number on Hawaii.
