Mr. Cooper, it seems you are suggesting that the former USSR fired some
4,000 SAMs against SR-71. Yet, SR-71 was "intercepted" with Swedish JA-37 (or so they say). I don't know, but if I were a Soviet PVO commander in chief in that time, I would be p*ssed off big time! Now, I know that you have a lot of good information, but being an aircraft "fan" I prefer some information over "I dare you, Venik". More like "Vladimir Malukh" first (or good second-hand) stuff. And no, I don't believe that SR-71 was withdrawn because of MiG-31. Also, to be thruthful, MiG-31 was tested under a name MiG-25MP and further developed into MiG-31BM... P.S. what the heck were MiG-25s doing at low-level to be shot by F-5s!? At that altitude their performance is such they well might have plunged themselves into ground! Nele NULLA ROSA SINE SPINA
