Errr wrong....at that speed it would have to have internal stores and opening bay doors would be impossible unless slowed to ~700knts or less (probably 600knts)...they would be ripped off by air.

Which is pretty much impossible to occur due to the config of the engines. It uses ramjet for high speed operations and has to duct back to turbojet (or turbofan...these days) for low speed flight.

Like the SR71 it would just be a recon bird.
