I'd think head-on the SR would likely present a pretty small RCS (it was after all known for being rather stealthy for its day)--couple that with its speed, the interceptor's speed (i.e., one heck of a closure velocity), and 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. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
