Real or not, the plane exists and was in use as a spy plane that flew hier and faster the anything that was thrown at it. It wasn't a fighter plane, so its only defense was to go hier and faster than the enemy when being approached. So, to the people who believe this video is real, it's not their fault because the plane is real.

Technically fighters also outrun missiles if they're outside the MAR, as long as they can dive to the deck and give the missiles a few turns they can run it out of energy before it reaches them. The MAR (Minimum Abort Range) depends on the missile and several other factors, but the MAR for an AIM-120C-7 is of the order of 10 nautical miles on the deck, even though its range might be 65 or more nautical miles. The cool thing about the Blackbird is, it can outrun missiles at high altitude.

My father never talked much about his life in the military except for one occasion where an incident happened to one of the pilots on a flight somewhere over the South China Sea. Dad said that the plane's engines & air frame were damaged beyond repair due to the pilot pushing the plane far beyond mach 3.8 The pilot claimed a wrecking ball size sphere was not only chasing him but trying to force him into a dive at 80,000'

When I was flying in the Navy I took off behind a Blackbird in Okinawa. It went to full blower during its roll and I'll never forget how its afterburner reflected off the runway at rotation. Truly awesome bird. And yes, there was a tanker waiting for it above the air station (their gear wasn't rated for full fuel capacity on the ground).

[@gabrielalvarez329]

El sr 71 les bailo sabroso al los su 27 los dejo viendo lejos ..😮

[@recoilrob324]

I believe they could take off with full fuel load and did at times early in the program, but it was hard on the tires needing higher roll speed and also dangerous being so heavy so slow at such low altitude and unable to fly should they lose an engine that this was not done routinely. I worked in the J-58 overhaul section at P&W and this was by far my favorite motor...just a beast.

[@MG2577]

It actually left with a full tank but it leaked...refilled in the air and once it hit a curtain speed the plane would heat up AND "stretch" enough to seal the tanks and the rest of the bird.

[@recoilrob324]

@@MG2577 Yes...they DID leak on the ground, but also rarely tried to take off with a full fuel load due to the issues mentioned above. There was no reason to stress the tires and risk the aircraft with a heavy fuel load when they had a tanker orbiting above ready to fill them up for the mission. Also the fuel used to start, taxi then climb to altitude was considerable so refueling before starting the mission increased the range by quite a bit.
