With a modern radar this would become quite deadly.

Anything within 350km is toast, altitude isn't a problem.

SWUUUUUUUUUSH..MISSILE LAUNCHED

SR-71=Dead

[Buuub08]

@EddieDaOnly1 The missile is almost 3 times as fast as the SR-71, and even the older versions of this missile are capable of engaging targets with speeds of over Mach 4. Thus technically the SR-71 falls into the category of being a relatively easy target.

@Sheilfalkyr lol the SR 71 is faster and all it has to do is accelerate to be safe

@nbarile18 why would i be a Russian nationalist? Just because i dont agree with your bs?

Well, show me the evidence, i tried to find some but i couldnt. There is evidence for Europe, there is some for the Russian far east, and there is plenty for other countries. Satellites are far more reliable and completely safe to use, by the time the SR came about it was already unnecessary.

Doing angle shots is extremely difficult, to get a clear layout you have to be pretty much over it.

Not the battery that shot down the F117.

They made three radar scans with hoping to catch the F117 in the same air corridor they had used the previous night over Belgrade.

When they saw the F117 on the last scan they locked on the fire control radar and launched two S125 missiles. Both passed very close with one proximity fuzed and disabled the aircraft.

@Buuub08 I don't know if you are a Russian nationalist or something, but there IS documented evidence that the SR-71 flew over Moscow, in particular. One of the U.S.'s main sources of intelligence as to the location and types of Russian nuclear facilities was through aerial photography. And you must remember that the SR-71 didn't actually fly over its recon target- the cameras were so powerful they could snap pictures on an angle miles and miles away- so it could be outside of the USSR,.

[Buuub08]

The SR-71 doesnt even go to 100k feet, no airplane with conventional jet engines is capable of sustaining such a flight altitude. The record to this day belongs to the Russian MiG-25 as a matter of fact (36,240m - not even 120k feet), and even that was achieved in a ballistic trajectory.

Missiles have no altitude limitation, the max has always been said to be 40km. It doesnt mean they cant go higher, its just that at 40km a countries air-space officially ends.

@nbarile18 Nop, firstly it is not documented that it ever happened anywhere in deep Russian territory. 2ndly the SR-71 was physically incapable of doing such a mission. Its closest dislocation points to the USSR were in the UK and Okinawa (Japan). Pick up a map and see how far within Russia they could get, not far at all. They did however fly over the European part of the USSR, especially over Eastern Germany, thats a fact.

@AdurianJ Even the serbs admit that was a lucky shot. They fired a bunch of AA missiles in the direction they heard the F-117s coming from. Stealth does not affect the air defense system at all- it simply hides it from radar and does not allow it to be tracked. Missiles can still be launched and then you've got a 1/1000 chance of maybe hitting something. The Serbs were able to figure out which direction the fighter-bombers were coming in from and they lobbed an SA-3 up there hoping to hit one.

@Buuub08 Really? Until the invention of spy satellites we routinely flew over Russia. Special tankers- the KC-135Q- would orbit outside of the USSR and make a trackline back to the States. The Blackbird's claimed cruising altitude was 80 to 100,000 feet- and many people say it flew as high as 150,000. No aircraft even today flies that high on a tactical mission, and subsequently no missile defense system would have the capabilities of shooting down the SR-71.

@nbarile18

And there was no single S-200 rounds ever fired to SR-71's.. and why ? because since Gary Powers down..All US recconaisance aircrafts are not allowed to overfly Russia.. but instead simply harassing their Air Defense RADAR , helping RC-135 job to record their RADAR parameters.
