CF-105 Arrow (not army related, but still CF related.)

The tactics of the "day" was for the Voodoo to launch carrying nuclear tipped missiles.  They would fire these missiles at the incoming Red Bombers and attempt to out-run the shock-wave.  Had the Arrow survived this same tactic would most likely have been used.
 
Affectionately refered to as the "Pickle and Pucker" tactic. One would pickle the weapon, then would uncontrolably pucker as he turn and fled.

Its interesting to speculate how Canadian and/or US CF-105s could have dealt with the number of target groups.
Locating nuclear-tipped BOMARCs in locations above or at the US border may have been the most efficient to destroy multiple bombers from a US point of view. 

Seems like the F-104 was the interceptor of choice for many years.
With 100 CF-105 and some USAF interceptors we could have dealt very well with a very large number of bombers.

The F-104 was the interceptor of choise because the Arrow wasn't there.  :P
