Soviet forces have been energetically improving and expanding far northern airbases from the Kola Peninsula near Scandinavia to the Chukotski Peninsula opposite Alaska. Crews of some 1,000 medium Badger bombers and 200 heavy Bisons have been training hard at airborne refueling operations, are currently rated on a par with U.S. SAC crews. Some of these planes have been seen landing on floating ice islands, which the Russians maintain as emergency landing strips in the Arctic...
