My understanding is that the B-70 was built (2? prototypes) to cause the
rooshans to soil their collectivist drawers and to spend huge amounts of
money attempting to defend against it, at the same time ballistic
missile defense was being touted, also causing the rooshans to soil
their collectivist drawers and spend huge amounts of money attempting a
work-around. Not sure that stuff was ever meant to become operational,
though the BMD stuff is still going on. It all led to the downfall of
the soviet union as they just could not keep up spending against the
"threats."

B-70 was built as designed - to go very fast very high; Soviets at
same time developed surface-to-air (SAM's) that led to its
cancellation, cause it was unable to go very low, very long to avoid
Soviet radar and SAM's, which B-52 was able to do for many more years.
B-52 had been built in 50's and 60's as high altitude bomber, also,
but was able to adapt for low level penetration of Soviet territory.
'Flew many hundreds of hours at very low level myself.
