The SR-71 Blackbird wasn't really a stealth aircraft. It was a reduced RCS craft, meaning it had a reduced radar signature, but was still detectable, and relied on its speed for its defence.

It was an unarmed aircraft, being intended for photographic surveillance and reconnaissance. An armed prototype - the YF-12A - was tested for potential use as an interceptor, but was never fielded.
