Estonian Soldier reacts to SR-71 BLACKBIRD
Video Summary
Here is a summarized version of the article:
The SR-71 Blackbird is a legendary US airframe designed to intercept and track Soviet Union’s borders, built to fly at incredible speeds of up to Mach 3.2, reaching altitudes of 80,000 feet, and outclimb any threat. The plane was developed to be invulnerable, with a radar-absorbent coating, titanium body, and special paint to reduce its radar signature. The Blackbird was deployed in the 1960s and 1970s, with its first mission over North Korea and Vietnam. The Soviets tried to track it down with 800 surface-to-air missiles, but the Blackbird’s speed and altitude made it nearly invulnerable. The plane’s maintenance was expensive, with a cost of $300 million per year, which led to its retirement in 1998. Despite its high costs, the SR-71 remains an iconic symbol of American military power and technological innovation.
