My dad worked in Air Force intelligence on several different assignments. He was on a program intercepting Soviet communications. He said they had a clear translation of one of the Soviet top generals saying that is another American aircraft flies along the coast and is not shot down he will see to it that the officers in command of the missiles will be taken out and summarily shot. Dad said they all wondered if they were or if the general was stopped. The SR71 never overflew Soviet territory, but they did fly the coast line in international airspace and looked sideways into the coastal ports and had excellent surveillance.
