Re: Удар по...
>То есть даже мысли про упреждающий удар нет.
Ну почему же?

Монтгомери:
«
In brief, if we are to strike the enemy's atomic forces before they can hit us, we have to know where they are before actual hostilities commence.
«
p. 245
ЛеМэй:
«
I don't see how I can absorb, on my bases, an atomic attack and then get off the floor and carry out my mission. I don't believe I could do it. I am just fooling myself if I say I can. I certainly don't agree with any national policy that tells me that that is what I must do because I don't think it is possible.
«
p.235-236
«
Third, provide funds in such quantity as may be needed to insure that the striking force will be operational as a long-range, inter-continental force not later than July of 1952; and, lastly, reexamine present policies which imply that we must absorb the first atomic blow.

Никто с ЛеМэем спорить не стал...
Там есть еще интересное письмо Ванденбергу от генерала Кенни.

I believe that we have got to do something about the conception that we must wait until Russia hits us before we can start shooting. I realize that this is a matter beyond your control, out perhaps something can be done about educating the public or at least preventing them from becoming too apathetic about the situation,
which in the final analysis is a question of survival. If we ignore the warnings of Lenin and Stalin and the public statements continually made by Communists all over the world and allow a new and far greater Pearl Harbor to overtake us, there is a good probability that we will lose the hot war as well as the cold war.
I believe that something can be done to bring it home to the people of this country and to their representatives in Congress that we are now actually at war. By all previous definitions, we are now in a state at war with Russia.
Whether we call it a cold war or apply any other term, we are not winning.
We are not seriously mobilizing to start winning or to undertake the offensive between now and midsummer 1952.
When a state of war exists, it is not necessary to tell our opponent what our next move is going to be.
It seems to me that almost any analysis of the situation shows that the only way that we can be certain of winning is to take the offensive as soon as possible and hit Russia hard enough to at least prevent her from
taking over Europe. If we plan and execute the operation properly, the weight of our attack in the early stages may be sufficient to compel Russia to accept our terms for a real peace.
I am worried about the time elapsing from the day that
the whistle is blown before we can launch our first atomic strike.
If the enemy attack should come without warning, as we all believe
it will, and that attack is repeated day after day for a week, and
such a series of attacks is preceded by well planned sabotage,
I seriously doubt our capability of continuing hostilities.
It is quite conceivable that the people of this country would be unwilling
to accept further casualties and destruction and would demand that
the government ask for terms.
It is going to be so difficult to shorten the time before we can start effective retaliation that this in itself constitutes another argument for reexamining our national attitude toward fighting what has been wrongly termed a preventive war. It would not be a preventive war, because we are already at war.

Кстати, у господина генерала есть свои источники информации, которые ему доложили, что у русских в середине 1952 году будет 1500 Ту-4 и , вероятно, больше 300 атомных бомб.
