Or for that matter if it even has a mission. We all know satellites can now produce reconnaissance photos with enough clarity to read large newsprint from orbit and while it's true a manned aircraft can fly anywhere, anytime, both are limited during night hours and overcast skies. Additionally, while Russia didn't have the capability of shooting down an SR-71 back when it was flying, I'd bet they and most countries do, now.
True, true, and true.
