So glad we can finally talk about this! Fury is a high-performance, multi-mission group 5 autonomous air vehicle. It is capable of pulling 9Gs at Mach 0.95 for a tiny fraction of the cost of similarly performant fighter craft.

Fighter aircraft with actual people in them will seem extremely unwise in retrospect.
Btw, what’s holding you back from doing Mach ~1.5? Compressibility drag is lower there than at 0.95.
Air density drops exponentially with altitude, whereas speed-based drag is merely a square.
Just get high.
