Product Description
During the 1950s, American military planners began using the word "strategic" to descrive the most powerful nuclear weapons. The aircraft that were always in the sky, ready for the order to drop hydrogen bombs on the Soviet Union, were call strategic bombers. They were part of the Strategic Air Command. Today, military officials and politicians speak of strategic defense systems.
