Mach 3 Spy Plane that was used in Vietnam war

Despite the A-12’s advanced stealth and speed, North Vietnamese forces detected the plane and launched six missiles. Sullivan narrowly evaded them, with missile fragments later found embedded in the aircraft.In October 1967, during the Vietnam War, a CIA-operated A-12 “Oxcart” spy plane flew high-speed reconnaissance missions over Hanoi. The A-12 officially had a maximum speed of Mach 3.2—but the missiles that were following Sullivan could attain Mach 3.5. Can A-12 spy plane survive in modern warfare ?
