I'd think head-on the SR would likely present a pretty small RCS (it was

the idea that the Draken would have to be lugging at best a couple of Rb
27/28 (read as "Falcon") AAM's, and I don't see it as very doable. Color me
dubious.

I'm wondering *when* it was, also. The SR-71 had a pretty
significant defensive electronics fit; at some time it was allegedly
the best stuff we could make, and capable of jamming just about
anything.
