The SR-71 Blackbird, first used in 1966, holds a top speed of 2,274 mph, significantly surpassing the speed of newer stealth aircraft being developed with advanced technologies.
Modern stealth aircraft emphasize stealth and maneuverability over speed, as evidenced by the upcoming stealth planes that max out below 1,000 mph, prioritizing advanced capabilities.
Stealth aircraft have evolved from primarily reconnaissance roles to being essential in combat scenarios, showing their growing importance in military strategy and air dominance.
The deployment of F-22 Raptors by the U.S. in Southeast Asia underlines the strategic use of stealth aircraft to deter adversaries like China in a volatile region.
