SR-71 Blackbird Intercepted Enemy Jets Seconds Before Escape

On July 27, 1962, Soviet radar operators detected an "impossible" signal—an object moving at Mach 3 on the edge of space. For decades, the USSR fired over 4,000 missiles and destroyed their own engines trying to catch the American "Ghost."

In this documentary, we reveal the terrifying cat-and-mouse game between the SR-71 Blackbird and the Soviet Mig-25 Foxbat. From the frozen bunkers of Murmansk to the secret hangars of Area 51, discover how a plane built with stolen Soviet metal broke the back of the Soviet air defense system.
