The development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during the 1950s made long-range bombers obsolete. ICBMs provided a much faster, more direct and accurate means of delivering nuclear weapons to distant targets, making the need for manned long-range bombers less relevant in terms of strategic deterrence.
