At Mach 6, the Mig-105 "Spiral" still walks the talk better than anything else. Although SR-71s were intended to overfly Russia, they never did because Russia had the technology to shoot them down - 9 U-2s are known to have been shot down. The Syrian and Iraqi Foxbats weren't the Mach 3 recee versions. At Mach 3+ Russian and IAF Foxbats have always eluded F-4s, F-16s, F-15s, and the works in all their 25 years of service.
