That is a great article.

A very interesting article. The last answer would seem to speak to a couple of earlier posts, as well as potential implications for the effectiveness of look-down/shoot-down radars against targets in the weeds.

Yeah, i wonder if Aleksandr Zuyev was the pilot in question. Makes me wonder how effective low-level air and cruise missile attacks really are. Take Iraqi Freedom, Ballistic Missiles were all intercepted or not going to hit anything of value, but antiquated chinese Seersucker cruise-missiles seem to be another matter. Several were fired in the early days, and the Patriot systems seem to have been unable to engage them. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/19/international/middleeast/19CND-GORD.html

That article was great. But if you want to know even more about how they flew these birds during the Vietnam Era I highly suggest this book. Flying from the Black Hole: The B-52 Navigator-Bombardiers of Vietnam Several hundred pages of highly detailed info on how they planned flew and executed missions. Including Linebacker II.
