The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, a legendary spy plane capable of flying over 2,200 mph (more than three times the speed of sound), demonstrated that extreme speed could serve as an effective defense strategy against missiles, as its velocity made it difficult for enemy interceptors to catch up, and pilots were sometimes instructed to simply speed up when locked on by missiles.

The Plane So Fast It Could Outrun Missiles π³βοΈAdded:
What if I told you there's a plane so fast you could fly from New York to Los Angeles in under an hour? Meet the Loheed SR71 Blackbird, one of the fastest aircraft ever built. This legendary spy plane could fly over 2,200 mph, which is more than three times the speed of sound. That's so fast, missiles fired at it usually couldn't catch up.
Its secret, extreme altitude, and insane speed, the SR71 flew so high, pilots could literally see the curve of the Earth. And here's the crazy part. When enemy missiles locked on, pilots were sometimes told to simply speed up.
Imagine outrunning missiles like it's no big deal. Would you fly in the SR71 for one mission? Comment yes or no.
