I just know that an SR-71 flew less than 50' over my position on San Fernando Rd. as it approached Burbank Airport's old Lockheed test strip, at the beginning of its last coast-to-coast speed record attempt ('89?). Once over the fence, it lowered to < 10', lit its afterburners with its shockdiamonded tail licking the tarmac, before being lost in the L.A. smog.
Having flown on commercial airliners in and out of Burbank airport, they slammed them down hard on the end of the runway before using everything they had to stop before running off the other end into a parking lot -- which has happened a number of times including nearly on one of our landings. I can't picture an SR-71 doing same.
1966, I was 4 years old. My mother said go outside to watch this plane. It went over us twice. Offutt AFB was 65 miles away. How low and slow do you think this Bird flew over us to make a landing at Offutt Air Force Base? Very low and very slow. I told mom it looks like a big cigar.
So this amazing aircraft was built over 6 decades ago, Kelly Johnson was a visionary. So if it was so amazing 6 decades ago what CLASSIFIED AIRCRAFT DO WE HAVE TODAY ?IT'S GOT TO BE UNBELIEVABLE, UNSTOPPABLE AND SO FAST..😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was considered a last ditch effort by the Soviets to use their own planes as preliminary radar targets for an initially unlockable target from the ground. This was depicted in the movie "Firefox" where producers later stated that anonymous technical advisors "somewhat" confirmed this practice.
There is a released report from SR-71 pilot and WSO flying just outside Soviet airspace off Vladivostok......the narrative is that the pilots could see the MiG 25s attempting to reach their altitude but kept falling away unable to. The SR-71 just flew away......
Victor Belenko, who escaped from Vladivostok to Japan in his MIG-25 in 1976 stated that the Soviets had a plan to station MIG-25's in front of the SR-71 and to fire their missiles, but it never occurred. The MIG-25's radar was too primitive and the SR-71 flew at altitudes that the MIG-25 could not reach and was too fast.
Negative. The SR-71 was never fired upon BECAUSE IT NEVER ENTERED SOVIET AIRSPACE. The Swedes successfully intercepted the SR-71 _fifty one times_ over the Baltic. In their observations.. the Soviets also intercepted the SR-71 to a distance of exactly 3km at which point they broke off. It’s their reasoning that this was the optimal envelope for their missiles which could easily make up the 2 mile later distance and 4 mile vertical distance and still close with a Mach 5 speed. Remember too… it’s the Mig-25 that holds the world absolute altitude record at over 123,000 feet. It’s not sustainable… but with the predictable flight path of the SR-71 and the fact the turning radius of it is 81MILES… it could easily be intercepted through careful timing.
@@calvinnickel9995 In his book "MIG Pilot" Lieutenant Belenko further describes the intercept problem, "They had a master plan to intercept the SR-71 by positioning a MIG-25 in front of it and one below it, and when the SR-71 passed they would fire missiles. But it never occurred. Soviet computers were very primitive, and there is no way that mission can be accomplished. First of all, the SR-71 flies too high and fast. The MIG-25 cannot reach it or catch it. Secondly, as I told you, the missiles are useless above 27,000 meters, and as you know, the SR-71 cruises much higher. But, even if it could reach it, our missiles lack the velocity to overtake the SR-71, if they are fired in a tail chase. And if they are fired head-on, their guidance systems cannot adjust quickly enough to the high closing speed." This is a direct quote from Lieutenant Belenko and I find no reason for him to lie.
@@BluelevitronI think it's quite the opposite: he had every reason to exaggerate or to fabricate, because his life depended on the satisfaction of his American hosts.
@@calvinnickel9995 Three factors that would influence the intercept equation would be the predictable flight paths of the SR-71's, as those never varied, the altitude restriction, and the speed restrictions of Mach 2.7-2.8 in order to avoid overflying denied airspace in the tight confines of the Baltic Sea area. In his book, "SR-71 Revealed the Inside Story" Col. Richard Graham recounts those "DEBBIE" missions, when the SR-71 was used as training sorties for F-15 intercepts, flying pre-briefed flight tracks, Mach 2.8 speed restrictions, and no higher than 70,000 ft. The F-15's were always successful. Former SR-71 pilot, Steve Grzebiniak, recalls surprising those F-15 jockeys by not revealing their flight path, flying at 86,000 ft. and Mach 3.2. At the post-mission briefing those same jockey's mumbled something about radar problems and no kill on Steve's flight.

It is us new electronic warfare. It can create the virtual image with almost same RCS with SR-71.Mig-25 are lock on this virtual wave and firing missiles. 😅
In 1981, an SR71 flew over Korea. Upon having missiles locked on it, the SR71 put out 3 phantom projections of itself. The missiles went after phantoms.
Think about this the first recored flight was in 1903 and it lasted 12 seconds and this plane was designed in the late 50s I'm no genius but something is not adding up

The Russians in Vladivostok were looking toward Alaska where they still today play a back & forth game. There are many reports of faking each other out.
What complete BS is this??? Vladivostok is nearly 500km away from the Korean peninsula & it was never the HQ of their Air Defence, regional yes. And Foxbats came in the 70s, at least 3yrs after this report. And how did they know of the second lock if it wasn't on them. Americans will say any shit to make themselves look cool.
Stealth does not mean completely invisible to Radar. It's reduced radar cross section. That is why Two F-117 night Hawks were shot in 1999 in Yugoslavia. One was shot down. There the other escaped with serious damages. Moreover, it was an old Soviet SAM system that managed shot at the so called stealth F-117s. Even the newer F-22 or F-35 CAN tracked and short down.
Few people know the most dangerous routes flown by the SR-71 were often crewed by British pilots and 'back seaters'. Indeed, British crews flew dangerous routes on a regular basis.
Wrong. This was the case with the U-2 overflights of the Soviet Union.. not the SR-71. The SR-71 never overflew the Soviet Union. The other countries it overflew were tiny third world backwaters where the international political ramifications of an American pilot being captured were nearly nonexistent.
The mig 25 couldn't actually catch the blackbird in any kind of sustainable flight. The soviets actually would look for the refueling tankers first just to get an idea where to focus their radars. They then had several pre-staged foxbats in various locations on ready standby so they could be launched almost like rockets just to be in the vicinity of the blackbird as it was cruising by them. Many soviet pilots later said that the foxbat was barely controllable at those altitudes and speeds. They certainly couldn't get a real lock and actually fire missles. One pilot supposedly got a lock but very doubtful since no missle was actually fired. If they missed their launch timing by 30 seconds they would miss the blackbird completely. It was just a hail mary to act like they had as good of technology as we did. Decades later, they still can't keep up with the US in anything. The US has created so many amazing weapons based on what Russia claims to have, then we find out later that they grossly exaggerated their capabilities. Same old story, just a different decade😂😂😂
No MiG-25 over there. Though the aircraft flew for the fist time in 1964, the first prototipes had serious control issues. The Foxbat didn't enter in service until the Seventies. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-25
lol.. no. The inlet spikes are PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE of speeds above Mach 3.3 due to inlet unstart…. a condition so violent and dangerous that they can’t even train for it.
