Your question begs a question and thus two answers.
First, as an interceptor, if the Foxbat behaved like Concorde or SR71, then it would be low possibility. As a fighter, with good GCI assistance, no contest.
The point is that the Foxbat was an interceptor designed to intercept the B70.
As bombers I don't think either were particularly effective.
