I'm curious what would happen if US wouldn't be afradi to hit Vietnamese sites where soviet AD advsors were present and some would actually die? US could say "Well, there is a war going on and if they didn't want to be in harm's way (saying in HARM's way but be anachronism
) they shouldn't be there in the first place.
Now, US and SU did everything possible to prevent their armed forces to directly engage anywhere fearing this would lead to escalation in Europe. US could then argue that it was soviets who started this, having their military directly engage US planes (not completly true but close enough for propaganda).
So, SAM/IADS sites are hit and soviet officers die as result. Effects?
