The A-10 Oxcart spy plane was very useful, but it was not invincible and one was nearly killed over Vietnam.
Key point: The spy plane helped keep tabs on various Cold War adversaries, especially during times of high tensions. In fact, the plane s photographs of North Korean activity helped Washington decide not to launch a major retaliation in the aftermath of the seizure of the USS Pueblo.
Analysis of Week’s photos located the USS Pueblo near Wonsan anchored next to two patrol boats and also revealed that Pyongyang had not mobilized its troops for war. This led Johnson to rule out plans for a preemptive or punitive strike in favor of diplomatic measures which eventually saw the ship’s abused crew released nearly a year later.
The X-10 proved to be quite a high-performance aircraft for its time.
Here s What You Need to Know: The X-10 program proved successful and continued through November 1956.
During the early days of the Cold War, the U.S. military sought new ways of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target. One platform to do that, the Navaho surface-to-surface cruise missile, utilized the North American Aviation (NAA) RTV-A-5 (Research Test Vehicle, Air Force). Also known as the X-10, the turbojet-powered aircraft was used to test the flight characteristics and guidance, navigation, and control systems for the planned SM-64 Navaho.
Named after the Navaho Nation, the Navaho was intended to be a supersonic intercontinental cruise missile that could be capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to the targets within the Soviet Union from bases within the continental United States while cruising at Mach 3 at 60,000 feet.
