Interesting machine. To use as a spy plane is putting a human pilot in the fire pit if shot down, for what man makes, man can destroy. With this, the various satellites now in orbit are very efficient in obtaining very excellent photos and what ever the design is to accomplish plus what ever is some distance underground.
What each state wishes not to occur, is another Gary Powers incident.
For perhaps not intended for use, this machine with correct engineering, would serve very well as a vehicle for a nuclear weapon carrier. For it would be a trojan Horse first identified as a spy machine for which it would not be.
But then, we should not be suggesting the above..

At present as observed, it would appear the SR-72 more or less follows in the footsteps of The Currant SR-71 in many aspects of performance and with this, the power plants. Of course until one is taken for disassembly, most every thing would be considered speculation.
The following is the power plant of the SR-71, at present as in past, the unit is well designed and reliable. What is missing in the descriptive presentation, is the fuel. Being for the heat of such high speed flight and with this, the use of fuel to cool the leading wing edges and portions of the airframe, it is required of JP-7 over the normal military grade JP-4. With this fuel, is required use of chemical ignition system of Triethyborane {TEB}. This fuel is very high ignition to light it up for reasons as described above narrative.
Noten: The above is readily accessible in the internet with use of key words.
