Originally Posted by STRATOSAURUS The story about Blackbirds missions over, or best, near Soviet Union borders is still, in many points untold. In the "hotest" days of cold war, the soviets, carefully monitored the flightphat of every Blackbird sortie from UK, towards Murmansk area o the Baltic sea. Remember that, in the soviet doctrine, the interceptors was "directed" to their targets from ground radar stations, and week after week, month after month, these stations recorded a lot of information about direction, speed, hight and duration of the Blackbird flights. Also, Foxbats were used "as Blackbirds", to test tactics to shootdown a real SR-71, over the Soviet Union. The soviets believed after close examination of the Blackbirds flightpaths, that a shootdown was posible using "various planes" located a different areas in the same route of the Blackbird. Each plane has his prope "launch window", and the Blackbird at Mach 3.0 cant turn on time to evade a missile. In some ocassions this tactic was sucessful, but in the last moment, the order to shootdown never arrived, due political considerations. The Blackbird was over the sea near the frontier, not deep inside of Soviet Union, and one impact a Mach 3.0. disintegrated the plane over the sky, and the soviets wants a near complete plane in his soil. Not 5mm. fragments under the sea. Yes i agree. No Blackbirds were shootdown over Soviet Union, but.. the victory in aerial warfare not was only a shootdown. If your opponent abort the mission, you win also. Nobody knows, at the present, the number of failed or aborted Blackbird missions near
the Soviet Union, and when the Mig-31 becomes operative, the Blackbird career in Europe, ended. I remember a Blackbird picture taken from a Mig-25 published in AFM... and yes, i think that "others" still are clasiffied. Regards from Spain.
Very True, As for my remarks about the incident in the Baltic, had the Mig 25 been serious, the Blackbird would have been very dead. As for what happen up north, nobody knows unless they have a security clearance. Its possible that a Mig 25 actually got a photo of a SR-71, however, I would put that down to the SR-71 having a problem that had caused it to slow down (Intake unstart or alike) and the pilot had pushed on instead of turning back. As far as I’m aware the SR-71 never made an intention penetration of Warsaw part airspace (may have come very close and may have done it by accident ). The real pity about this thread is that I've got access to hundreds of photo's , the problem being however, is that I cannot post them.

имхо это еще одна Ваша попытка забалаболить тему, попытка скрыть то что у Вас нет аргументов в защиту отстаиваемого Вами тезиса
