Neuer Tarnkappenbomber
US-Luftwaffe stellt "B-21 Raider" vor
Stand: 03.12.2022 08:03 Uhr
Die US-Luftwaffe hat ihren neuen Tarnkappenbomber vorgestellt. Der "B-21 Raider" soll für das Radar noch weniger sichtbar sein und ohne Besatzung fliegen können. Sein Name erinnert an einen Angriff im Zweiten Weltkrieg.
- In Stanley Kubrick's movie Dr. Strangelove, the notion of a "Bomber Gap" is parodied when the character of Buck Turgidson (a Pentagon general) declares that the US "must not allow a mineshaft gap" in discussing the use of mineshafts as nuclear fallout shelters.
- In Season 3, Episode 11 of U.S. television situation comedy That '70s Show, "Who Wants It More", Donna and Eric do a report in his bedroom for school on the arms race between the superpowers. After several "study breaks" in which they have sex, the two disagree over the "bomber gap." Donna incorrectly suggests that the Soviets started the arms race with the bomber gap; after Eric corrects her, she refuses further "study breaks."
The whole idea of a missile gap was parodied in the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in which a doomsday device is built by the Soviets because they had read in The New York Times that the US was working along similar lines and wanted to avoid a "Doomsday Gap." As the weapon is set up to go off automatically if the USSR is attacked, which occurs as the movie progresses, the president is informed that all life on the surface will be killed off for a period of years. The only hope for survival is to select important people and place them deep underground in mine shafts until the radiation clears. The generals almost immediately begin to worry about a "mine shaft gap" between the US and Soviets. In reference to the alleged "missile gap" itself, General Turgidson mentions off-hand at one point that the United States actually has a five-to-one rate of missile superiority against the USSR. The Soviet ambassador himself also explains that one of the major reasons that the Soviets began work on the doomsday machine was that they realized that they simply could never match the rate of American military production (let alone outproduce American missile construction). The doomsday machine cost only a small fraction of what the Soviets normally spent on defense in a single year.
''Doolittle Raid ist die Bezeichnung eines Überraschungsangriffs der Luftstreitkräfte der US-Armee am 18. April 1942 auf Tokio. Diese Operation im Zweiten Weltkrieg während des Pazifikkriegs wurde nach ihrem militärischen Leiter Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle benannt. Es war der erste Angriff auf die japanischen Heimatinseln in diesem Krieg und diente vor allem der psychologischen Kriegsführung.''
