B-52s won the battle for Khe Sanh in 1968.

That was the only weapon the NVA feared and could not fight during the whole war.

This only applied to the war in South Vietnam however. In the air war over North Vietnam, even though the B-52 was still feared, it could be dealt with via the North Viet Ground Defense Network using SAM missiles, and the NVAF, which flew high altitude MiG21 interceptors.

The US Marines at Khe Sanh won because Khe Sanh did not fall to the NVA. At Khe Sanh, General Giap intended to repeat his success against the French Army at Dien Bien Phu fourteen years earlier, but the siege failed because the US managed to supply Khe Sanh by air and provide tactical air support for the defenders, whereas the French air link to Dien Bien Phu was tenuous at best after that siege began.
