Soviet Radar Operators Were Baffled by the 'Ghost' SR-71 That Outran 500 Missiles

In 1967, Soviet radar operators in Vietnam detected a signal that defied the laws of physics. It appeared out of nowhere, traveled at Mach 3, and vanished before interceptors could even scramble. They called it a "Ghost." We know it as the SR-71 Blackbird. This documentary explores the Cold War's greatest game of cat and mouse from the enemy's perspective. Discover how the Soviet Union fired over 4,000 missiles at the Blackbird without scoring a single hit, the desperate creation of the MiG-25 Foxbat, and the engineering marvel that allowed the US to spy on the Kremlin with impunity.
