本文编译自英国《皇家空军空中力量评论》2004年春季号,文章原题为《50年代末至60年代的英国皇家空军战略打击力量》。英国目前仅拥有单一的海基核力量,其核武器装载于4艘战略核潜艇之上。皇家空军早已不再负责核打击任务。但在60年代,英国空军的战略轰炸机部队则是英国唯一的核打力量,是英国国家安全的基石。本文对英国60 年代的核打击能力作了详细分析,让读者对当时英国的核威慑能力有一个全景式的了解。
This article is compiled from the British “RAF Airpower Review” Spring 2004, the original article entitled “the Royal Air Force strategic strike force from the late 1950s to the 1960s.” The United Kingdom currently has a single sea-based nuclear force, loaded with nuclear weapons on four strategic nuclear submarines. The RAF is no longer responsible for nuclear strike missions. However, in the 1960s, the British Air Force’s strategic bombers were Britain’s only nuclear force and the cornerstone of British national security. This article gives a detailed analysis of Britain’s nuclear strike capability in the 1960s and gives readers a panoramic view of Britain’s nuclear deterrent capability at the time.
