4,000 missiles fired. Thousands of intercept attempts. The result? ZERO hits. For over 30 years, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird dominated the skies over the Soviet Union like a ghost. It flew so fast that the only evasion maneuver the pilots needed was to simply push the throttle forward.

But the most ironic truth about this Cold War legend isn't its speed. It's the metal. To build this titanium monster, the CIA had to pull off "The Great Titanium Heist"—secretly buying the raw materials from the Soviet Union itself to build the very plane that would spy on them.

In this video, we dive deep into the Skunk Works' insane engineering, the shape-shifting J58 engines, and the terrifying reality of flying at Mach 3 where the air itself tries to melt you.
