I was active duty Air Force during development of the YF12. It was
designed to be a one-way interceptor for incoming ICBM missles and is
still the only aircraft I'm aware of that can do this. It was to
intercept the missle and shoot it down during re-entry into the
atmosphere as it approached targetted area.
