Got a link? I would like to see this because I have never heard of it.

the flights over the ussr were canceled after the u2 incident, but were incidents in which the sr71 got in to the border lines -by few moments-, but not much into the ussr, the main mission was china.


So says you. The U-2 missions over Russia were stopped after it was shot down. The SR-71 however is a different story. I have heard a lot of talk from people who would know that the Blackbird did in fact fly over Russia.


the true missile speed is M4.5, the relative total speed is between M6-M7.5


The missle travels at Mach 4.5 for the vast majority of it's flight, not Mach 6.


the maneuvres at +M3 -if you have the structure- are almost impossible, you lost too much energy (even in minor movement and specialy with the sr71 huge delta), and you final speed and heigh are very,very affected (to M2-2.5), now imagine that you have an plane behind with much better supersonic maneuverability and 2-4 missiles, your dead, the best that you can do to keep that speed is to fly in straight line, like everybody knows.


Well I have read accounts from pilots who actually flew the SR-71 that said they would just make slight turns and that was all that was needed - but I am sure you know better Grunt, after all what do they know? They Only flew the aircraft that has never been shot down. You clearly know better then they.

man i have read sooo many books included about aircraft and aerodesign that right now i dont remember where i read the a12 incident, but you can ask for another guy, anyway i have an link, its american propagandist, but it say an incident with an sa2 that expolted only an mile behind the sr71, as you know the blackbird flights are very well studied and organizated, so an old sam that reach an merely mile describes that the plane is overated;

www.wvi.com...

"Landing was uneventful at Kadena. The Terrain tracking camera recorded the SA-2's launches and later evaluation revealed the nearest missile exploded about one mile behind and away from #976. "

man the missile speed is the true speed. again if you launch that form an X=Vo>0, the total speed is T=X+missile speed, look, an sea sparrow reach M4 from the ground.

you cant sustain max speed specialy height (and specialy from such heigh and speed and with that design!!!!!) with maneuvres, hell none plane can do that, .......ahhh yes only the blackbird...nice propaganda, the sr71 have the max speed record, but in that time i think that the mig25 had the max climb record, is obvius that the 25 can climb better, so if the blackbird lose energy in a maneuvre the thinks go better for the 25.

please dont start with that "sr71 over ussr", because it didnt happened.

your friends of your friends of your friends etc.... could tell you anything in cold war times (or even in this times),but please start to reading an physics book
