These don’t seem comparable to me. The sr 71 was never meant to be mass produced or to head to head against a mig. The sr71 didn’t even have any guns it’s a spy plane. The sr 71 accomplished its goal with flying colors and spotted nuclear test sites and information on the Cuban missle crisis.

The star fighter, or f15 or f22 would be more apt.

TLDR special purpose tool vs general fighter cannot be compared
