The Military are self regulating and follow their own rules (that govern the UK Low Flying System). As such they are restricted to a maximum of 450kts (extendable up to 550kts with specific clearance). Above 2,000ft (the upper limit of the Low Flying System), their speed is only limited by the restrictions on supersonic overland. Fast Jets can barely stay airborne at 250kts.
