 JS> It was a ground launched. "The Snark air breathing

        What were the Soviets fielding at the time that SAC felt was the
Snark's primary opposition?  I always thought the biggest thing they had in 
that
department was the Silkworm or the Styx, but the Snar sounds bigger than 
hose
two even.
