the difference between the YF-12 and the SR71, is that the YF-12 is an armed interceptor, and the Sr-71 is a recon aircraft. Note that the nose of the YF-12 is more conical than the SR-71.
is a nice video but I think the SR71 top speed still unknown and it was said that it even outrun mach 4 rockets from NKorea I know that it came from the YF12 but I thing it is the fastest to this day am not sure on this
@Buuub08: The YF-12 was actually designated to be an interceptor. It was a modified version of the A-11 which was being built for the CIA and was equipped with air-to-air missles. Like the XB-70, it never entered service. The SR-71 was the follow on to the A-11 and YF-12. Its mission was reconnaissance.
I would never list the two US planes as Combat aircraft. They are fast planes but not combat planes in the usual sense of the word...

@Cantankerous65 The plane starts to melt at mach 3.5, and the engines will stall at about the same speed.

Nice post. They seem to be in order of fastest to slowest. If so, the YF-12 should be first in line. Its top speed was "over" Mach 3.35.

the mig 31's top speed is mach 2.83

Ok..
1) The YF-12 is not a combat aircraft. Its a spyplane, carries no weapons whatsoever and thus is technically not a combat aircraft.
2) The XB-70 is not a combat aircraft either as it never even entered service, all it was an experimental platform. Same goes for the T-4.
Video is nicely done though, good job on that.
