    Reducing flight time, methinks. Same as officially absorbing Finland and Sweden into nato, despite their “neutrality” being a sham to begin with. Shorter distance - shorter flight - less time to detect and intercept. Now there’s of course a question whether interception is feasible in an all out nuclear war at all. I don’t have an answer to that.
