"Cost considerations and building practicalities limit their use to fighter size aircraft."

The british housed Avro Vulcan 'V' bombers in it. They arent anywhere near as a big as a B-52 or something, but they are still bigger than a fighter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.92.18 (talk) 07:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Actually although the overall dimensions are different the Vulcan is of comparable size to a B-52: [1]
And the V-Force aircraft were extremely unlikely to have ever needed hardened shelters as they would have been the first aircraft launched in case of all-out war. By then of course, any enemy attacking the airfields would be four-minutes too late.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.18.221 (talk) 11:26, 15 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Scope

edit

I propose expanding the scope of this article to Airbase defense (here is a detailed source on the topic). Currently the entire "Alternatives" section is somewhat off topic but its valuable information that can be fixed by expanding the scope of the topic of this article.VR talk 21:04, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
