There can be few aircraft like the Avro Vulcan, which can stop you in your tracks.
The Avro Vulcan was the cornerstone of Britain’s Cold War nuclear deterrent, ready to respond to a Soviet strike at a moment’s notice. From 1956 to 1969, its mission was clear: deliver devastating retaliation to the USSR.
But could it really have done so? Could the Vulcan take off under attack, fly through hostile skies, and strike Moscow?
In this video, I break down the variables—Soviet defenses, mission logistics, and Cold War realities—to determine if the Vulcan could deliver on its promise. Watch and share your thoughts: did Britain’s V-Force stand ready, or was it a bold gamble?
