I think it’s fair to remember that, at that time, the US had the option of purchasing a HUGE number of GLCMs to position in Europe. These would have been cheaper, more reliable, and faster to target than the B-1B. Even the Brits pused for the GLCMs over the B-1. Not to mention the fact that our research and experience with “modern” Soviet radar proved that their radar was, indeed, capable of intercepting the low-flying B-1.
