US YF-12 was an experimental mach 3.35 (2200mph) interceptor and long-range, high altitude bomber escort fighter. Armed with 3 Hughes AIM-47A Falcon air-to-air missiles (packing small nuclear warheads) she would sweep large sections of the air of defending fighters to allow nuclear penetration bombers to nuke their targets. This concept was experimented with during the 1960s to early '70s, but was abandoned. The missile bays were later converted to house photo-reconnaissance equipment and fuel and the plane became the SR-71 Blackbird, if I remember correctly.
